National parks, preservations, and conversations make up of at least 38% of North American wilderness. The wilderness reaches places such as the northern Canadian forests and the southern Unites States deserts.

The answer depends on the definition of wilderness. If by it we mean natural forests, habitats, marshes and similar ,the answer would be around 38%. If we define it as an area of federal land designated by the wilderness act of 1964 then the answer is 4. 71%(only within US).
