Watch E.O. Wilson Discuss His “Half-Earth” Solution with Kirk Johnson, Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History

On May 18, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History hosted a special evening before a packed house with celebrated biologist E.O. Wilson.

E.O. Wilson discussed his life and new book, Half-Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life, with Kirk Johnson, Sant Director of the National Museum of Natural History. The evening was a special opportunity to hear Wilson’s recent and through-provoking proposal to devote half the surface of the Earth to nature.
