OPINION: Writer William Sargent considers E.O. Wilson's radical idea to set aside half the Earth for nature.
. He had been an inspiration when I was doing fieldwork on monkeys on Desecheo Island off Puerto Rico.
Several years ago, I bumped into E.O. with a fellow scientist at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology. He asked what I was up to and I told him about my plans for a field trip to Columbia and Venezuela.I had followed his work closely when he synthesized biology and human behavior, but had lost track of his more recent work on the loss of biodiversity due to climate change. He had come up with the seemingly radical idea that.
Suddenly it occurred to me that I was walking on a similar habitat corridor, the string of barrier beaches and barrier islands that run from New England to Florida and west to Texas. Billions of striped bass, bluefish, menhaden, herring, tuna, sharks, seals, squid and whales already use the offshore corridor and billions of shorebirds, songbirds, insects and raptors use the onshore corridor.
