Natural landscapes
Natural landscapes are landscapes beyond cultural influence. A natural landscape is one that is unaffected by human activity.
As Earth evolved over billions of years, it was exclusively natural. However, since the dawn of human culture, tens of thousands of years ago, people have altered landscape to such an extent that there are few, if any, places on earth which remain pristine. Being pristine, though, is not a criterion for natural landscape designation. Once abandoned by human influences, the landscape immediately is, prima facie, again under the control of nature.
Natural landscape is the equilibrium which existed prior to significant human impact.
