Wilderness Suite III. CAT
Because of wilderness legislation preventing human development and the use of mechanized and motorized equipment, the Frank Church River of No Return’s protected 2,361,767 acres tell a unique story of “anti-development” that illuminates the effects of taking humans out of a space. III. CAT highlights the strange story of how large farm equipment was buried to comply with new laws, and encourages listeners to consider questions about sustainability, including: Can the environment sustain humans without itself being depleted? What role do protected wilderness areas and their water conduits play in enabling human and nonhuman resilience? How do protected wilderness areas affect sustainability in an age of climate change?
