Resolution 
 
     there is little activoe ooperation betwo=n the Wilderness Socete 
 
sau the Uoologioa Society, despite the fact that both seek the ost&b-

 
lishwent of wilderness ares. 
 
     Mano members of the WilAeness Society, probably thin the ]"oologioal

 
Society sees mainly omll areas for scientific study.   ay ecologist* 
 
probably think the Wilderness Sooiety seek* mainl large areas for 
 
rereation. 
 
     loth should realse that only a nation-"wide system of both large

 
and smll areas, will serve the needs of the future.  Both should remalse

 
that ecological observation ts on* of the highest forms of recreation, 
 
while ecological stadies without an esthetic appreciation of the biota 
 
are dul and lifeless. To a Lsro extent, .therefore, the interests of 
 
the two grous overlap, while the p     mogres needed to serve those interests

 
Are identical. 
     t 1or                     hat the Wilderness Society hereby invites

 
thse oological Society to attend its meetings and use its jornaul, an 
 
suasets to the bological Society a possilel joint committee on oooperation.
