What is Wilderness?

In this video, we talk about what a wilderness area is and what "wilderness" means, in preparation for a series where we will hike deep into North America's wildest places in search of wildlife.

WIlderness areas are true gems - NE Georgia's Ellicott Rock wilderness area is remote and full of adventure. The homesteads from 100+ years ago have all but completely vanished which does show you that Ma Nature can reclaim her land.

What a great way to introduce a series! I am very excited for your new set of videos that you have coming up, from what you shared here you covered some truly amazing species. It is interesting to consider the idea of wilderness, as ultimately, like you pointed out, no place on Earth is free from human influence. Great work as always, I look forward to the rest of the videos!

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it! I’m really having fun going back through these old videos and it’s got me inspired to do a segment in an OH or KY wilderness area this year!

It's hard to believe that so many of our forests are still being cut down for farming, housing developments and business parks. Enjoyed the video, you made some great points.

Thanks Cole! Unfortunately, we are definitely losing natural areas faster than we are restoring them.

@@lifeunderfoot4805 My channel is mostly about conserving animal species but the habitats are just as important.

@@animaleducationwithcoleshi5481 I really appreciate your channel’s focus on the conservation work zoos do! A lot of great wildlife conservation happens at those facilities and it’s great to see you drawing attention to it! Keep up the good work!
