Forty-five years ago this month, the United States signed a piece of
legislation to 'protect and preserve America's wilderness heritage in
perpetuity'. On 3 September, when the Wilderness Act was passed, 9.1m
acres of America was designated as wilderness. Today, there are 756
wilderness areas covering nearly 110m acres in 44 states and Puerto
Rico - nearly 5% of America's total land area. To celebrate these
habitats and the anniversary of the act, the Wilderness Society asked
its members to submit their best images to a photography competition.
