DESCRIPTION:HALF-EARTH DAY 2019: Pathways to a Half-Earth Future \n\nInspired by 
 renowned biologist and naturalist Edward O. Wilson, Half-Earth is a call to 
 conserve half the Earth’s land and sea in order to provide sufficient 
 habitat to safeguard the bulk of biodiversity, including 
 ourselves.\n\nHALF-EARTH CONFERENCE\n\nDate and time: Monday, October 7, 
 2019 @ 9 AM - 5 PM\n\nLocation: Clark Kerr Campus: Building 10 and 
 Conference Center, UC Berkeley, 2601 Warring St, Berkeley, CA 
 94720\n\nCost: $10 - $45 (low student rates available)\ntickets: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/half-earth-day-tickets-63113919432\n\nHalf-Earth 
 Day brings together people from around the world and across disciplines to 
 share their unique perspectives and thought leadership on how we can work 
 together to achieve the goal of Half-Earth [conservation] and ensure the 
 health of our planet for future generations.\n\nJoin scientists, 
 conservationists, business leaders, community representatives, and 
 educators for an exciting day of programming at the University of 
 California, Berkeley. \n\nSPECIAL EVENING LECTURE: Half-Earth: How to Save 
 the Natural World\n\nDate and time: Oct. 7 @ 7 PM - 9 PM\n\nLocation: 
 Zellerbach Auditorium, UC Berkeley, 101 Zellerbach Hall #4800, Berkeley, CA 
 94720 \n\nTickets (student rate available):\n 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/half-earth-day-tickets-63113919432\n\nJoin 
 visionary biologist and naturalist E.O. Wilson and other special guests for 
 a discussion moderated by Sally Jewell about the core science and common 
 humanity that is driving the success of Half-Earth, and how we can all work 
 together to save the natural world. Introduction by Paul Alivisatos, 
 Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost for the UC Berkeley campus. Opening 
 talk: Framing the Problem, by Stephen H. Lockhart. Presentation: The 
 Science Behind the Solution, by Walter Jetz, Yale University and Scientific 
 Chair of the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation.\n\nTHE HALF-EARTH 
 PROJECT\n\nThe Half-Earth Project has science at its core and our 
 transcendent moral obligation to the rest of life at its heart. In 
 collaboration with our partners, we are working to power one of the 
 grandest conservation efforts of our time and provide the urgently needed 
 research, leadership, and knowledge necessary to conserve half the planet 
 for all of life.\n\nWhen 90% of habitat is removed, the number of species 
 that can persist sustainably will descend to about a half. Such is the 
 actual condition of many of the most species-rich localities around the 
 world. In these places, if 10% of the remaining natural habitat were then 
 also removed, most or all of the surviving resident species would 
 disappear.\n\nIf, on the other hand, we protect half the global surface, 
 the fraction of species protected will be 85%, or more. At one-half and 
 above, life on Earth enters the safe 
 zone.\n\nhttps://www.half-earthproject.org/\n\nEVENT
