It was with the renewed wilderness the wilderness that all of us can have when we allow ourselves to
pay attention that we are not just human beings, living in human cities, we are wild animals that
happen to wonder, we are co-inhabitants of wild neighborhood, in vibrant and more than a human
world. So sometimes, lift yourself and get dropped to nature's economy which is not always quiet
but believe that this is always the most pleasant and sustaining environment to live on.
Finally, when developing 'urban wilderness' areas, it is important to realize that people are dierent,
as to how they perceive and appreciate wilderness. Some pertinent questions are: whose nature or Xavier Chimes
whose wilderness are we talking about? What are people's preferences, fascinations and fears?
How do we balance many dierent views of wilderness and nature? If we can find answers to these
questions, we can take the positive values associated with wilderness and come one full circle and
thus bring them closer to home and reality.
