Actually Christopher the report is under reporting the remaining wilderness.

>>Antarctica and the Arctic tundra make up roughly a third of that wilderness, or 23 million square kilometers.

To qualify as wilderness, researchers required areas to have fewer than five people per square kilometer, or 247 acres; at least 70 percent of their original vegetation; and a size of least 10,000 square kilometers, about the equivalent of Yellowstone National Park.<<

10,000 SQ.kilometers is a rather high hurdle for the definition of wilderness .
There is much ,much more wilderness than in this report if you consider the smaller areas.
The planet is in fine shape over all.Lets keep working to improve what we have and not listen to the naysayers who have been proven wrong yet again.
