"Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life" (book)

"Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life" is a book by natural historian and biologist Edward O. Wilson. It proposes a bold conservation strategy: dedicating half of the Earth's land and oceans to nature to preserve biodiversity and combat extinction. Wilson argues that human activities are driving species to extinction at an alarming rate, threatening the health of the planet. By setting aside substantial areas for wildlife, we can maintain ecological balance, support ecosystems, and ultimately ensure a sustainable future for both nature and humanity. The book blends science, philosophy, and a call to action for global conservation efforts.
