Wilderness , conservation and the environment

When we look at the environment around us and we think of conservation of the wilderness,we look at the first step of trying to help the whole planet.The Native American Indians in America valued their environment and the animals that were in harmony with the earth.The Europeans arrived and did not have any concern for their environment but that changed when the Europeans realised what we could do to the environment and thus they decided to protect the wilderness.Many of these changes took place in the 19th and 20th centuries and now we have wilderness projects in the US and Africa and around the world.
We need to protect the wilderness and conserve our lands.In protecting the wilderness we can infact protect our planet.
