TWC MISSION STATEMENT The Tobeatic Wilderness Committee is committed to maintain the integrity of the present natural processes and biodiversity within the Tobeatic Wilderness Area, and to allow them to evolve naturally without outside interference. The Tobeatic Wilderness Committee is dedicated to the following definition of "wilderness" by the Wildlands League and used in the World Wildlife Fund's Endangered Spaces Campaingn.
"Wilderness is an area where human activity
is deliberately minimized, where non-human forces and forms of life remain
virtually undisturbed by such activity. Wilderness is a place where
neither the permanent addition of artificial objects, nor the removal of
natural objects shall result from human use."
It is an ecological unit of sufficient size to be essentially self-regulating, and large enough
to ensure physical and psychological separation from the human-dominated environment.
Excluded from these areas are: roads, permanent structures, mechanized vehicles and
equipment, trapping, natural resource extraction, and any form of disturbance which
is incompatible with wilderness and wilderness values.
