This collage of ideas, insights and historical analogies will make you think, which is what we need."" Bill McKibben, author The End of Nature ""Preserving Planet Earth is a testament to the importance of ongoing discourse across diverse communities and insights. Whenever we can engage new voices and constituencies, and empower informed stewardship, we create a new moment for achievement of bold conservation outcomes.” Paula J. Ehrlich, President & CEO, E. O.
