pristine wilderness
Unspoiled natural land
Pristine wilderness is land that remains in its natural state, untouched or minimally affected by human activity.
The phrase emphasizes both purity and wildness—forests, mountains, or waterways as they existed before development: The national park preserves some of the last pristine wilderness in the country.
Conservation efforts often aim to protect such areas from logging, mining, or settlement.
