Description

Half-Earth proposes a bold plan to save our planet's imperiled biosphere: dedicating half the Earth's surface to nature. This ambitious solution aims to prevent the mass extinction of species, including our own, by preserving the biodiversity of our planet.

Edward O. Wilson argues that the situation facing us is too large to be solved piecemeal, and that a comprehensive approach is needed. He explains how our species has become the architects and rulers of this epoch, and outlines the consequences of this that will affect all of life, both ours and the natural world, far into the future.

This book provides a moving and naturalistic portrait of the many ongoing extinctions that are imminent, paying tribute to creatures great and small. It also considers the often-overlooked invertebrate animals and microorganisms that form the foundations of Earth's ecosystems.
