Title:
Multiple Site Designations Of Wilderness Zones Within Protected Areas
Proposed by: C A Reid
Seconded by:
P.
Hartley
WHEREAS,
In protected areas, wilderness zones are often isolated, single site
designations rather than multiple zones or an extensive, continuous zone
throughout the protected area;
This type of wilderness zonation results in the erosion of a protected
area's wild character through inappropriate developments/use adjacent to
these areas.
THEREFORE,
the 7th World Wilderness Congress hereby
Recognizes the importance of wilderness planning and management
integrated with overall protected area mangement plans; and hereby
RESOLVES, that
Land management agencies and NGO's adopt the principle of multiple site
designation of wilderness zones, with corridors whenever possible, in
protected areas.
