Read the Pulitzer Prize winning author, renowned biologist Edward O. Wilson. States in order to stave off mass extinction of species we need to move swiftly to preserve the bio-diversity of our planet. Half-Earth argues that the challenge is too large to be solved piecemeal & proposes a solution commensurate with the magnitude of the problem. “Dedicate fully half the surface of Earth to nature”.
Identifies the actual regions of our planet that can still be reclaimed – the California redwood forest, the Amazon basin or the Serengeti grasslands. An enormously moving, naturalistic portrait of just what is being lost when we clip the “twigs & eventually the whole branches of trees.”
