It may be recreational, wildlife rich, a unique and sensitive ecosystem, a biodiverse or culturally significant location, and so on. For example, we challenge you to go bear-spotting, in particular, find the Spirit Bear (Ursus americanus kermodei) who might or might not be here<https://trk.cp20.com/click/gcbo-2f88by-axwyo2-habgtnd6/>6/>.
