      About this Talk


As E.O. Wilson <http://www.ted.com/index.php/speakers/view/id/83>
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; yet we're still
steadily destroying nature. Wilson identifies five grave threats to
biodiversity (a term he coined), using the acronym HIPPO, 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.
