Michael Frome contributes a moving piece for Soul of the Wilderness, discussing the wilderness as a sanctuary for us and future generations: “Wilderness areas are not playgrounds, nor theme parks, but sanctuaries, meant to be forever.” Franco Zunino contributes an international perspective on his work to bring the concept of wild nature to Italy and the mountainous wilderness landscape he and partners work to protect. Other topics include:

  • Mountain Wilderness
  • South Africa, Italy, Botswana
  • Wildlands in North East United States
  • Hiker Perspectives on Solitude
