In the USA there are large areas where activities like logging are
prohibited at the federal level:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wilderness_Preservation_System
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._Wilderness_Areas

Many states provide similar protections to areas as well.

Although logging may be prohibited currently there may have been
logging activity before the area was designated as a wilderness area.
