Edward Osborne Wilson received Carlos Fresneda and I at his office in Stanford University on the occasion of being recognized with the BBVA Prize on Conservation Biology and Ecology. I prepared the short video seen here, which Pablo Jaúregui, from El Mundo, kindly translated and narrated in Spanish in the El Mundo Ciencia website. My environmental portrait of E.O. Wilson was also published alongside Carlos Fresneda’s entry in the EcoHeroes blog. Mr. Wilson, 82, is an optimist and a pleasure to be around. Congratulations on your prize!
