（-）但是，政府保护荒原这一建议要考虑它需要的人力物力财力，没有经济做支撑，不见得可行。另一方面，保护荒原不等于将荒原和人类隔绝开来，应该是和谐相处。

It's a debate survived for a long time until now that whether to keep the wilderness area be as its nutural state or to develop its use in economic. When considering them in each angel, easily a lot of reasons and explanations can be stated for their justice. But we should stand in the position of long developing, actually a new idea will be born that the two suggestions can be compatible.
Of course, it makes sense to keep the wide wilderness districts in their natural state. Too many negative influences we have got from destroying wilderness areas in order to be more rich and developed. In China northeast, the well-known hundreds and thousands of wet lands were occupied for farming land, left little until now, aiming at the raise of food products. Despite of big gain in economic and the stable situation due to the devolping of the wetland, the famous and great black soil become more and more futile. And fewer wild animals are still living in the areas. What's more, there are more floods and other natural disasters, never happened before, threat these areas. All the reason is the breaking of the wilderness without protection. Not only in Cina northeast, but also can we get a lot more examples like the big west immigration in US soon after America was built as a independent country.With so many bad fruits we've experienced, it's absolutely easy to understand the reason for protecting wilderness areas.
However, in spite we know the destroying result coming from exploiting wilderness, it doesn't mean that everything can be fine just putting large acres of wilderness aside as it should be. When it comes to preservation of the wilderness areas by the governments, we must consider the correlative budget this task will take. Not only for funds, which might be a huge burdon for government and the people, but there should be even many sodiers are needed to protect and supervise wilderness from being touched at all. In this way, with a lot of cost in money and labors, is that necessary and practical when comparied the gain and lose? For another thing, we should pursuit the situation of harmony living stantard and situation between humans and the nuture, which does not equal to completely seperated with each other, without any touching. So where is the wise way? And what idea should we hold to pursue such a balance?
Come to the <wilderness Act> of US founded in 1964, which was started by the American president Thersore Roosevelt. After this act, a lot of country geologic parks were set up, with the aim of a balance situation between humans and nutural beings, including animals, wilderness, even grass. Every country park was founded after strict examinations, including the acquisation cost, resourse threat. None road, none industrial equipments are permitted arround the parks. But travelling and some scientific studying programmes are welcome, with stiff regulations with the population and what are forbiden. At the same time, until now, the benefit from the 348coutries parks have been one of the economic pillars in America, with 10.6billion dollars as financial reward and 212thousand labor positions. This is quite a successful case, in which economic and nature protection can be put together well, promoting each other at the same time.
Thus, every side is resonable for both, to protect the wilderness, or to develop the potential economic gain. The wisest method is to keep them harmony, in a long run.
