Wilderness Act - Jordan Fisher-Smith

Fifty years after the Wilderness Act was implemented, park rangers now find themselves having to weigh the pros and cons of intervening on the behalf of the nature that lives in their parks. Some disasters are natural, and nature will rebound, while other apparently innocuous invasive species spread through a landscape like a figurative wildfire. Jordan Fisher-Smith explains in the article "The Wilderness Paradox"  featured in the September/October 2014 issue of Orion Magazine that wilderness management is now a product of natural curation by man to outweigh the negative impacts of the human world around parks.
