The Last Untouched Eden (VIDEO)

Just wanted to share this short 4-minute video highlighting one of the last South Pacific islands virtually untouched by humans - Kind of breaks your heart to think about it, because, of course, if they're filming it, the "touching" has already begun....

    In Deep Ecology (1985), there is a passage about "wilderness".  We designate certain areas of land, islands, rivers, etc. to "official wilderness."  But natural resource economists, favoring rapid economic development based on narrowly perceived human needs and wants, will almost always win because they add the value of hiking, camping, snowmobiling, etc. to the mix.  What is lost is what we see in the film---untouched, pristine beauty. Yes, Bonnie, it breaks my heart.
