Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Half-Earth project at this inspiring day of conservation and advocacy. Hosted by the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation in partnership with Harvard University, this Half-Earth Day event honors a legacy of hope for the planet's biodiversity.
The day moves between science, art, and testimony: wild places brought to life through film and photography, Indigenous voices renewing our relationship to land, a tribute to E.O. Wilson through the people who knew him best, poetry and music that carry what data alone cannot. Scholar, writer, and artist Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation) guides guests through it all as emcee.
The program includes a land acknowledgment and performances by Larry Spotted Crow Mann (Hassanamisco Nipmuc Nation) · live photography and film by Florian Schulz · a tribute to E.O. Wilson in his own words · a session on the resilience of New England's forests with Sherri Mitchell (Penobscot Nation) and the Harvard Forest · a keynote on the Endangered Species Act with a performance by Julian NoiseCat · and the presentation of the E.O. Wilson Legacy Award for Transformative Conservation Leadership to the Gorongosa Restoration Project.
Sponsoring a day of free admission at the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.
