Half-Earth Project

The Half-Earth Project is an ambitious conservation initiative aimed at preserving biodiversity by designating half of Earth's land and sea as protected areas. Launched by biologist Edward O. Wilson, the project seeks to safeguard natural habitats to prevent species extinction and enhance ecosystem health. The idea is that by protecting a significant portion of our planet, we can support the diverse wildlife that shares our environment and improve the resilience of ecosystems against climate change and human activity. Ultimately, it aims to create a sustainable future where both nature and humanity can thrive.
