NEW YORK - Folk rock legend Paul Simon has announced a US tour to promote biodiversity efforts as fears mount for the long-term survival of life on Earth.
The 75-year-old songwriter, who a year ago had been mulling retirement, says all proceeds from his 17-date tour would fund the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation.
Started by the Harvard scientist of the same name, the foundation supports education and research into biodiversity - the interconnected lives of the planet's vast array of species.
