The Tree of Life has partnered with the EO Wilson Biodiversity Foundation’s Half-Earth Mapping Project and their Global Biodiversity Initiative.
HALF-EARTH MAPPING PROJECT
The Half-Earth Project Map is a high-resolution, dynamic world map and decision-support tool that guides where place-based species conservation activities are needed the most to save the bulk of Earth’s species, including humans.
Global Biodiversity Initiative
By accelerating the effort to discover, describe and conduct natural history studies for every one of the 8 million species estimated to exist, but still unknown to science, we can add to and refine the Half-Earth Project Map, providing increasingly effective guidance for conservation to achieve our goal. The Half-Earth Project is doing research to identify the most rewarding places for future species discovery in order to guide explorers, accelerate biodiversity discovery, and learn more about “the little things that run the world.”
