ABSTRACT
The uniquely human character of expressing perception of natural reality in language and more abstractly through creative acts builds a uniquely human or humanized environment. Human population densities are not an entirely useful statistic with which to evaluate man's relation to resources. This is because human demand for resources varies between populations. Continually increasing populations or demands not only exhausts resources but it limits invention and technology, creates instabilities in human populations and causes the human environment to be disturbed or changed in fundamental ways. The world-human systems can be arranged in a variety of hierarchies; each arrangement fits a purpose or objective of research. The study of wilderness may provide the balance we need to solve problems without reducing human freedom and destroying further the environment and human society. When the people and the research workers are part of the same system, they can understand relationships and communicate.
