We extend our hearts and sympathies to all those touched by Edward O. Wilson and his incredible conservation ecology—to all humanity and biodiversity alike.

EO was a conservation hero and a giant of ecological science and his passing is a tremendous loss. Everyone at Island Conservation is and will remain, forever grateful for EO’s support and contributions to our field and organization as a Founding IC Advisory Council Member.

We should preserve every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity.

Edward O. Wilson

His legacy will serve as guideposts for us all on our journey to a more sustainable and resilient future.

Godspeed dear Edward.
