Edward O. Wilson: A Personal Tribute Out of his many accomplishments, the late ecologist’s conservation work will be his most lasting legacy.

A retrospective from the National Academy of Sciences. https://www.pnas.org/content/119/5/e2200201119

Edward Osborne Wilson, Naturalist (1929–2021) In January 1980, at the commencement of a new decade, the journal Harvard Magazine asked several Harvard professors what they consider to be the major problems for humanity in the future. Edward O. Wilson replied (1): > The worst that can happen—will happen—is not energy depletion, economic coll...

Dr. Wilson once said, “You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.”

Remembering E.O. Wilson's Wish for a More Sustainable Existence From a lifelong passion for ants, E.O. Wilson guided humanity to think of conservation

We are heartbroken. The Earth has lost one of its finest humans. Rest in Peace Ed. https://www.npr.org/2021/12/27/1068238333/e-o-wilson-dead-sociobiology-entomology-ant-man

E.O. Wilson, famed entomologist and pioneer in the field of sociobiology, dies at 92 The influential and sometimes controversial Harvard professor first made his name studying ants. He later broadened his scope to the intersection between human behavior and genetics.

"Mr. Wilson has always had a knack for reducing complex problems to simple number games, easy-to-grasp metaphors or memorable anecdotes. A world-famous scientist, winner of many medals and honorary doctorates, celebrated for his research on ant communication and evolutionary equilibrium in island settings, he has also swept up awards in the field of literature, including two Pulitzers and, for his novel titled (what else?) “Anthill” (2010), the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize for fiction. Earlier this year came the ultimate literary sanctification, inclusion in the venerable Library of America, where Mr. Wilson is now rubbing shoulders with just a handful of other nature observers: John James Audubon, Rachel Carson, Loren Eiseley, Aldo Leopold and John Muir. And, as if further corroboration of Wilson’s eminence were needed, we now also have 'Scientist,' a full-length biography by Richard Rhodes, whose previous work in the genre includes the popular ''John James Audubon: The Making of an American' (2004).
