While much of the planet has been built upon, with a new study suggesting just 3% of the world's land remains ecologically intact, there are areas where the world’s wildness is still preserved in all its diverse glory. There are even places that are so remote and resistant to development, they simply can’t be tamed. From national parks and designated wilderness areas that protect fauna and flora to deserted, inhospitable places where few have trodden, these are the most beautiful wild spots around the world. Remember to check travel restrictions and national park opening times and closures if planning a trip.
