Wilson is a critically acclaimed environmental philosophy bestseller that advocates protecting half the planet’s surface to prevent mass extinction. With a 4.5-star rating and strong rankings in science and environmental categories, this urgent and accessible book is a must-read for anyone invested in the future of biodiversity and humanity. ## Description "Listen up: it could literally mean the world to us." Karen Shook, Times Higher Education History is not a prerogative of the human species, Edward O. Wilson declares in Half-Earth. Demonstrating that we blindly ignore the histories of millions of other species, Wilson warns us that a point of no return is imminent. Refusing to believe that our extinction is predetermined, Wilson has written Half-Earth as a cri de coeur, proposing that the only solution to our impending "Sixth Extinction" is to increase the area of natural reserves to half the surface of the earth. Half-Earth is a resounding conclusion to the best-selling trilogy begun by the "splendid" (Financial Times) The Social Conquest of Earth and "engaging and highly readable" (Times Higher Education) The Meaning of Human Existence. Review: Essential read for Everyone, especially Politicians and Billionaires of conscience. - This excellent book from such an eminent and deeply thoughtful biologist is actually one that everyone should read, but 'prevaricating' Politicians and 'what shall I invest in next to get even richer?' Billionaires, most especially. We all need to act positively to conserve Nature but those in power and those with fabulous funds of money can, should, indeed MUST do so much more to help ensure that Nature owns HALF of EARTH. The late E.O. Wilson speaks to us all and touches our hearts with his reasoning, having cleared our brain's pathways to thinking clearly, freed from greedy attitudes and out-dated religious fundamentalism. This book will resonate with us all because we are the other part of HALF EARTH - the species who thought we could just keep on taking and spoiling. Well we can't and E.O.Wilson's words, having touched our consciences and converted our attitudes, will have instilled in us a positive drive to ensure that NATURE gets HALF not only for Nature's sake but for Humanity's sake.We cannot indefinitely survive without natural ecosystems... Yet currently Nature/Earth, the ONLY LIVING PLANET in our Solar System has been offered less than one third. 30% is not enough! Politicians and Billionaires must read this book. But so should we all. Review: What a stupendous read! - A fabulous book that should be taught in every school around the world. Saving the biosphere must be seen as a moral enterprise and the most urgent task in human existence if we do want to keep existing at all for the next millennia. Our species has quickly to decide if irrationality, superstition, wishful thinking and tribal behavior should continue to shape our world, or instead, reason, conscience and ecological morality should take over to become the dominant force in our decision making. Reality couldn't care less about human idiocy. Let's keep this in mind, if not for the sake of millions of other species, at least for our own. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 73,762 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 16 in Philosophy of Science 31 in Extinction & Endangered Species 38 in Environmental Philosophy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 762 Reviews | ## Images ![Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life (Liveright) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61641oYNy7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential read for Everyone, especially Politicians and Billionaires of conscience. *by K***S on 29 October 2024* This excellent book from such an eminent and deeply thoughtful biologist is actually one that everyone should read, but 'prevaricating' Politicians and 'what shall I invest in next to get even richer?'

Wilson’s radical vision that to save most of the world’s flora and fauna from extinction we need to literally make half the planet a conservation zone is compelling. What’s missing is the ‘how to do it’ part, maybe that’s the next book… 7/10 ## Frequently Bought Together - LIVERIGHT Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life - LIVERIGHT The Social Conquest of Earth - LIVERIGHT The Meaning of Human Existence --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/59859508-half-earth-our-planets-fight-for-life-liveright](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/59859508-half-earth-our-planets-fight-for-life-liveright) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
