EarthX Celebrates Half-Earth Day in Dallas

Sep 30, 2025 08:36AM ● By Bernice Butler

EarthX will host a special Half-Earth Day® Celebration on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 7 to 10 p.m. in Dallas. The evening highlights progress toward naturalist E.O. Wilson’s bold “moonshot” vision of conserving half the planet for nature and biodiversity by 2050.

Part networking event and part call to action, the evening will bring together friends, partners, civic leaders, members of the media, and new supporters in a relaxed setting. Guests will celebrate achievements, hear big announcements about the future of EarthX, and enjoy a preview of plans for EarthX 2026.

Designed as a night to reconnect, recharge, and be inspired, the gathering will foster meaningful conversations about how local and global communities can work together to protect wild lands, preserve biodiversity, and build healthier, more sustainable futures.

RSVP is required by October 13, 2025.

For more information, EarthX.org or call 214-310-1200.
