"wilderness" in my life

I read some of the other posts and noticed that a lot of people see “wilderness” as a place where humans are not. Wilderness is something we cannot be a part of. I do partially agree with that, that human habitat is the opposite of wilderness to some extent. The video however portrayed a group of people who seem to be lively among the wilderness. They were up until now doing so without problem. Now though with the increasing climate change they are being severely affected and are worried about their future. I can see a comparison between this village and between endangered species facing similar problems. I think that if people can live among “wilderness” like as seen in the video and face environmental risks as endangered species do than who is to say where wilderness lies and where it surely cannot exist.
Wilderness in the articles we read describe wilderness as something unachievable. At least that is a point I got from some of the reading. Perhaps our environment will never be fully grasped because humans have some type of sole destructive approach towards the world. I know that this is an extreme way to look at the reading but I don’t like the distance that the idea of “wilderness” puts between us and the rest of the world and the species that inhabit it. I do agree though, that humans do pose quite a threat to many parts of our environment and that human behavior in more cases than not is destructive. I think though that if the separation between the “wilderness” and our own environment was ruled out then perhaps humans as a species would take more of a ethical approach instead of one that destroys a “wilderness” that we will never live in our require to survive.
