70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that
wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to
avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people
on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for
survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials,
and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services
A. B.
those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is
not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other
participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of
spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be
exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason.
