The National Wilderness Preservation System includes 806 wilderness areas that protect over 111 million acres of federal land. That's a huge area, bigger than the state of California! These special places are managed by four different government groups:

National Park Service (NPS)
United States Forest Service (USFS)
United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

These wilderness areas cover about 4.5% of the land in the United States. About half of this wilderness land is in Alaska, with over 57 million acres. You can find wilderness areas in 44 states (but not in Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, or Rhode Island) and Puerto Rico.

The National Park Service looks after over 43 million acres of wilderness in 61 places. The U.S. Forest Service manages over 36 million acres in 447 areas. The Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for over 20 million acres in 71 areas. The Bureau of Land Management oversees over 8 million acres at 224 sites. Sometimes, more than one agency helps manage a single wilderness area.

It's important to know that some states or tribal governments also have their own wilderness areas. These are protected by state or tribal laws, not by the federal National Wilderness Preservation System.

What is a Wilderness Area?

A wilderness area is a special place kept wild and natural. The United States Congress officially designates these areas under the Wilderness Act. This law makes sure that these lands remain untouched by human development. This means you won't find roads, buildings, or vehicles there. People can visit, but they must travel by foot, on horseback, or by canoe. This helps keep these places truly wild and peaceful.

The date an area is designated is when the law protecting it was signed. Some wilderness areas have grown or changed since they were first created.

Why Are Wilderness Areas Important?

Wilderness areas are super important for many reasons:

Protecting Wildlife: They provide safe homes for many different animals and plants.
Clean Environment: These natural spaces help keep our air and water clean.
Outdoor Fun: They offer amazing opportunities for hiking, camping, and exploring nature.
Scientific Study: Scientists can learn a lot about nature in places where humans haven't changed things.
Peaceful Retreats: They are quiet places where people can escape the noise of cities and enjoy nature.
