Our survival is inextricably entwined with the survival of all species that call our planet home, yet our current destructive trajectory is resulting in mass extinction of species and irreparable damage to our world. With his Half-Earth call-to-action, E.O. Wilson has created the groundwork for one of the grandest conservation efforts of our time, the Half-Earth Project.
On April 27 Dr. Paula Ehrlich, President & CEO of the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation, was a guest on the radio show “All Together Now.” Ehrlich and host Eleanor LeCain discussed the Half-Earth Project and its work to provide the urgently needed research, leadership and engagement necessary to conserve half the planet for the rest of life. “All Together Now” broadcasts on the Progressive Radio Network.
