This Why Files article discusses three of the last remaining wild places in the world. Topics include: the nature of these "Last Edens", threats to them by logging and other human activities, and steps being taken to save them. These biodiversity hotspots are large chunks of irreplaceable habitat with intact collections of plants and animals. The three covered here are: the Goualogo Triangle (now part of Nouabale-Ndoki National Park) in Republic of Congo, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, and the Chang Tang Wildlife Reserve on the Tibetan Plateau in western China. Four conservationists were interviewed for this article.
