Page 3

INTRODUCTION Wilderness is an area that provides a user a different opportunity where one can have unique and profound experiences. This special area reorients our focus and perception in a setting that is beneficial to refreshment. Today most of the world’s population lives in cities, where many people see nature in an urban setting and try to understand nature in the form of urban green spaces. All of these green spaces have been modified by people according to their own standards and ideas, but same space can be totally different when it is given to the nature without any human interference in it. In this “urban Era”, there will be a key challenge in keeping the relationship between city and nature. This will help in conservation of nature and will also help the wild areas in the city to be protected. Making such spaces available for the people and also providing them with tangible experiences of it will be beneficial for biodiversity as well as for the humans. It will also help in creating awareness among the people of the cities to preserve such important areas of nature. When such places are available for the people to visit within city limits, one will not require time consuming travels and also gives us a chance to value such places because of the unique experiences it provides. Because of the less human interference, the biodiversity of this space will also be maintained and at the same time it will also prevent such native natural areas.
