In 2014, European Wilderness Society presented the European Wilderness Quality Standards and Audit System. We are aiming to designate more Wilderness which can meet the Wilderness Quality Standards. According to the Quality Standards definition, Wilderness are composed of native habitats and species, and large enough for the effective ecological functioning of natural processes. They are unmodified or only slightly modified and without intrusive or extractive human activity, settlements, infrastructure or visual disturbance.

In nowadays, humans are willing to modify and manage nature claiming to save it.
