Half-Earth Day® brings together people from around the world and across disciplines to share their unique perspectives and thought leadership on how we can work together to achieve the goal of Half-Earth and ensure the health of our planet for future generations.
Caring for the environment and human health calls for the best of our science and ingenuity, along with a strong sense of compassion and moral compass. With science at its core, the Half-Earth Project is providing the foundation for a revolutionary movement culture of action, and leading significant scientific innovation regarding the most effective path forward for protection of endangered species and endangered ecosystems.
