pristine environment
Unmarred natural setting
A pristine environment is a natural area untouched or minimally affected by human activity—no pollution, no development, no visible human impact.
The phrase appears frequently in conservation discussions and tourism marketing, though truly pristine environments grow increasingly rare: The national park preserves one of the last pristine environments in the region.
