Confronting wilderness

View Item Record

Description:

A Michigan State University faculty panel discusses "Confronting Wilderness: Human Interactions with Nature". Panelists look at the concept of wilderness as a conflict with nature shifting to a concept of preservation, conservation and resource and recreation management. They recognize the human need for wilderness as being at odds with a desire to spread across the land, and the norm of justifying preservation on economic terms rather than aesthetic considerations. Dr. Jackson-Elmoore convenes the session and moderates questions from the audience. Part of the series "Sharper Focus/Wider Lens" sponsored by the the following MSU departments and colleges: the Honors College, Lyman Briggs College, the Department of Community, Agriculture, Recreation and Resource Studies, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Religious Studies, Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures, and the Environmental Science and Policy Program.
