By the end of the century, biodiversity losses will be enormous, with estimates  that predict the disappearance of 50% of species. The famous Edward O. Wilson, famous for his studies on sociobiology and biodiversity, to contrast this scenario, has launched the disruptive proposal of Half-Earth, "Half of the Planet". A new pact between Man and Nature, to protect life on the Planet: "half the Earth for humans and half the Earth for the rest of life", is the Wilson's proposal. Is it possible to think of the concept of "Half the Planet" to protect  planet life? It will be discussed in a round table, with personalities from the world of scientific research and resource management.

At the meeting will partecipate an Ispra expert
