The best way to live a long life is to live to be an old age.
The average 18 year old will live to age 80.
The average 65 year old will live to age 85.
The average 76 year old will live to age 88.
The average 90 year old will live to age 94.
The average 100 year old will live to age 102.
Two things cause this happen:
Every year, there is a possibility of death. If you survive that year to be age xx, then you did not die.
Second, people who don't die in a particular year are less likely to engage in risky behavior that can cause death.
Unbroken Natural Lands (Forest, Farmland) Over 10k Acres In New York
While more then 3/5th of the landmass in New York State is forested and roughly a quarter is farmed, many of the parcels are broken up by roads and houses. Even small gaps in natural cover can have significant impacts on wildlife. Most of state's largest parcels of unbroken cover is in the Adirondacks, though a few large parcels can be found in the Catskills and Allegany hills of Western NY. This data set also contains some data from watersheds in Northern Pennsylvania that feed into New York. From the New York Natural Heritage Program:
Although forests in the Northeastern US had been increasing in their extent since the early 1900s, more recently, we are starting to see this trend reverse,with development fragmenting and reducing the size of forests on our landscape. The objective of this project was to delineate road-less forest patches throughout New York State, based on the latest version of the National Land Cover Dataset(2016), and then to assess the condition of those patches within the Hudson River Estuary Watershed.

Research shows that achievement has surprisingly little to do with forcing yourself to choose wisely in the heat of the moment. Successful people rarely rely on inner fortitude to resist temptations. Instead, many exercise situational agency, arranging their lives to minimize the need for willpower in the first place.
