Half-Earth Day 2019, UC-Berkeley

The Half-Earth Project of the EO Wilson Biodiversity Foundation is a "clarion call to protect half the land and sea in order to safeguard the bulk of biodiversity, and ourselves. At this critical moment for our planet, the Half-Earth Day brought together the unique expertise and experience of scientists and thought leaders from around the world to strategize on how to achieve this important moonshot and solve the current environmental crisis." Esri (yours truly, Sean Breyer, Kevin Butler, Clint Brown) joined Vizzuality in a special session about the technologies behind the "Half-Earth Map" (access our slide deck at http://esriurl.com/halfearth ). Esri CEO Jack Dangermond was in a special (and memorable) plenary conversation with EO Wilson at day's end.
