Description: http://www.ted.com As E.O. Wilson accepts his 2007 TED Prize, he makes a plea on behalf of his constituents, the insects and small creatures, to learn more about our biosphere. We know so little about nature, he says, that we're still discovering tiny organisms indispensable to life; and yet we're steadily, methodically, vigorously destroying nature. Wilson identifies five grave threats to biodiversity (a term he coined), and makes his TED wish: that we will work together on the Encyclopedia of Life, a web-based compendium of data from scientists and amateurs on every aspect of the biosphere. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 24:21) |

| Urgelt ::: Favorites 2007-04-05 23:35:58 A great man, E.O. Wilson. And his wish is practical. It seems to me the main challenge is to define a page format. What do we wish to record about each species? With a format in hand, a wiki could be set up easily by any number of existing information companies. Wikipedia and Google would surely be interested, among others. __________________________________________________ | |

| pradtheprophet ::: Favorites 2007-04-08 12:50:15 This is something which is very important, the destruction of the biosphere thru ruthless human exploitation will in the end lead to our own destruction bcos we depend on nature and all those little ecosystems for our own survival. Kudos to E.O. Wilson great man! __________________________________________________ | |
| walooo ::: Favorites 2007-04-23 16:20:18 Cavemen lived through the ice age without electricity. Though I would be distraught to find an Earth without the majesty of forests and seas, I find it hard to fathom a cataclysm which humanity would not live through. __________________________________________________ | |
