In this issue of the IJW, Mark Bennet, Lorne Kriwoken and Liza Fallon discuss how to manage the impacts of bushwalkers in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, including management tools such as re-routing, erosion control and permit systems. Les Joslin uses examples from the Three Sisters Wilderness in discussion the best ways to inform and education wilderness visitors. He notes that “wilderness visitors at trailheads will read and heed a little information if it’s presented properly, but will ignore poorly presented and excessive information.” Other topics in this issue include:
- Using Information and Education in Wilderness Management
- Olaus Murie’s Spiritual Connection with Wilderness
- Proposal for a Wilderness Steward Organization
- Wilderness in Tasmania & South Africa
