Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life [9781631490828]

Overview

{"p":[{"em":"Half-Earth"},"If we are to undertake such an ambitious endeavor, we first must understand just what the biosphere is, why it's essential to our survival, and the manifold threats now facing it. In doing so, Wilson describes how our species, in only a mere blink of geological time, became 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.",{"em":["Half-Earth","Half-Earth"]},"In stinging language, he avers that the biosphere does not belong to us and addresses many fallacious notions such as the idea that ongoing extinctions can be balanced out by the introduction of alien species into new ecosystems or that extinct species might be brought back through cloning. This includes a critique of the \"anthropocenists,\" a fashionable collection of revisionist environmentalists who believe that the human species alone can be saved through engineering and technology.",{"em":["half the Earth","Half-Earth","all"]}]}
