Douglas W. Tallamy's first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of individuals to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature's Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this approach relies on the initiatives of private individuals, it is immune from the whims of government policy. Even more important, it's practical, effective, and easy—you will walk away with specific suggestions you can incorporate into your own yard. If you're concerned about doing something good for the environment, Nature's Best Hope is the blueprint you need. By acting now, you can help preserve our precious wildlife—and the planet—for future generations.

      Adam Barr presents this do-something vision of how we can all take a grassroots approach to conservation. In measured tones that emphasize urgency, Barr presents ecologist Tallamy's fact-based belief that we need to develop a new mindfulness about how our actions degrade the environment. Arguing that it's easy to slip into dangerous indifference--the disappearance of species doesn't bother those in environments where they're not encountered--Tallamy tells listeners that being neutral is not good enough; we need to act both individually and collectively to save our planet for future generations. Tallamy's specific and do-able suggestions encourage listeners to take action to increase biodiversity in their own backyards. Adopting new attitudes--and sharing them with our children--can make big differences. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
