For 3.5 billion years, Earth has been home to countless species. Sadly, human activity has led us to an existential crossroads. We’re losing the natural world at an unprecedented pace. The rate of species extinction is 1,000 times higher than at any time in Earth’s human history. One of the world’s greatest naturalists and thought-leaders, E.O. Wilson, has a solution. He calls it Half-Earth. Half-Earth is a call to action to protect half of the planet’s lands and oceans, and end the extinction crisis. If we save half, we protect 85% or more of all species. Join Dr. Paula J. Ehrlich, President & CEO of the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation, for this Hangout about the Half-Earth Project, which will work to provide the urgently needed research, leadership and engagement necessary to conserve half the planet for the rest of life.
