Contains the complete text of the Wilderness Act.

The first comprehensive guide to international wilderness laws, this handbook offers a detailed how-to guide for conservation professionals interested in developing new wilderness laws or policies in their countries.

This handbook is for the wilderness inventory process. Guidelines for all other aspects of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wilderness Program will be provided in separate documents. The inventory phase involves looking at the public lands to determine and locate the existence of areas containing wilderness resources that meet the criteria of Wilderness Study Areas as established by Congress.
