Summary
Wilson opens his trilogy's capstone with his bold central proposal: to stave off mass extinction, humanity must dedicate fully half the surface of the Earth to nature. He presents this audacious plan as commensurate with the magnitude of the crisis, arguing that piecemeal conservation can no longer suffice.
