Natural landscapes are disappearing faster than ever before in the US.
Urban sprawl, logging, mining, and road building threaten
to eliminate our last wild areas. But from tiny wetlands
to vast desert expanses, citizens are fighting to secure protection for
the remaining areas. Featuring the country's most prominent natural spaces,
Wildland documents on-going efforts to preserve our last wild landscapes.

"Testifying that wild lands are places where 'we stretch our soul
at the same time that we stretch our arms,' the Sierra Club president
and other eloquent supporters movingly express the importance of
retaining untouched wilderness areas. Contrasting scenes of pristine
mountains, forests and streams with smoking factories, bulldozed
roads, and honking cars, this effective program makes a strong case
for the preservation of the nation's natural resources. Traveling
across the country to survey the Rocky Mountains, Utah wilderness
areas, and Florida Everglades among other locales, the filmmakers
interview conservationists, Native Americans, and others who strongly
advocate involvement in this important issue. This nicely shot program
could spark discussion on grassroots involvement." Booklist
