"I believe that soccer mom's are the greatest enemy in modern life of natural history" hilarious. Wilson is a legend.

Man, the interviewer is an idiot.

You can imagine how how I felt hosting him here for a documentary on his life's work. He broke off long enough to file this segment for my organization, Friends of Hurricane Creek

Lucky person. I consider him one of the greatest and most eloquent defenders of the diversity of life and would be honored to hear him speak in a crowd of 10,000.

It is an honor to consider Ed Wilson as a personal friend and mentor. He did his postgraduate work here on Hurricane Creek in the 50's. His video message posted on my page is a very strong message of how important people in the trenches are to environmental protection.

We are, according to Dr. Wilson, "The Thin Green Line"

Wilson is a true Darwinian thinker, and a brilliant scientist.
