Proposed Revision of Wilderness Societt 0bJectives 
 
 
 
(1) To enlist the American people in the preservation of 
 
    the American wilderness. 
 
(2) To spread the concept that wilderness is a valuable 
 
    natural resource, and that its preservation is funda- 
 
    mental to a balanced conservation program. 
 
(3) To bar from wilderness areas the sights and sounds of 
 
    civilization-mechanized transportation, commercial 
 
    developments, and all uses which clash with the 
 
    primeval environment, and detract from its full 
 
    enjoyment. 
 
(4) To demonstrate the relation of wilderness to the 
 
    conservation of soil, water, forests, and wildlife; 
 
    and its importance to human well-being.
