The Future of Life by E. O. Wilson is the most relevant and significant book to date by one of the most important scientists in the world. It is a passionate call for immediate and decisive action to save the biological heritage of Earth and a plan to achieve this rescue.
Today we realize that our world is much richer than we previously estimated. However, it is being so ravaged by human activity that half of all species may be lost by the end of our century. These two opposing truths - the unexpected grandeur and the underestimated danger - have become urgently clear during the past two decades of research on biodiversity.
In this exceptionally insightful and ultimately optimistic book, Wilson describes the treasures of the natural world that we may lose forever and what we can do to save them. In many cases, they are animals, insects, and plants that have just been discovered, and their potential to nourish, protect, and heal us is countless.
Along the way, he addresses the ethical and religious foundations of the environmental protection movement and debunks the myth that environmental policy is contrary to economic development, explaining how new methods for protecting the environment can ensure long-term economic prosperity.
The Future of Life is a tour de force: a poignant description of our biosphere and a guide to the protection of all species, including humans.
