thumb The Wyoming Wilderness Association is an American non-governmental, not-for-profit working to protect Wyoming's wild public lands through wilderness designations. WWA was founded in 1979 by a group of wilderness advocates and outdoors people who envisioned the first Wyoming Wilderness Act. In 1984, the passage of the Wyoming Wilderness Act brought to all Americans the permanent protection of an additional 1.1 million acres of ecologically diverse, wild country in Wyoming. WWA was instrumental in passing the act by educating and train activists on a grassroots level. In 2003, WWA was reborn with a new opportunity to protect additional wild watersheds, intact ecosystems, old-growth forests, important wildlife habitat, and wildlife migration corridors – wild landscapes that truly deserve lasting protection as wilderness. As of 2012, the organization has over 700 members with offices in Sheridan, Buffalo, Lander, Dubois, and Jackson Wyoming. Currently, the whole wilderness system in Wyoming is roughly three million acres. Five million acres of spectacular wild land still remain unprotected and vulnerable to development.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wildwyo.org/Wilderness_in_WY.html )〕 Not one acre of new wilderness has been protected in Wyoming since 1984! On February 10, 2012, The Wyoming Wilderness Association celebrated its 10th anniversary advocating for more wilderness in Wyoming.〔http://www.wildwyo.org〕 ==Campaigns== Although the Wyoming Wilderness Association is involved in campaigns to designate new wilderness in Wyoming, not all public lands in Wyoming are undeveloped and have wilderness potential. From agency recommendations and citizens' proposals, WWA has prioritized the "gem" roadless areas that are left over after large-scale industrial development from oil gas and mineral extraction. These campaigns below represent the current efforts and direction of the organization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wyoming Wilderness Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
