SynopsisAn urgent and heartfelt call for a new approach to conservation--one that starts in every backyard--from the New York Times bestselling author of Bringing Nature Home ., "Doug Tallamy is a quiet revolutionary and a hero of our time, taking back the future one yard at a time. In Nature's Best Hope , he shows how each of us can help turn our cities, towns and world into engines of biodiversity and human health." -- Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle and Last Child in the Woods Douglas W. Tallamy's first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers 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., In Nature's Best Hope, Douglas W. Tallamy urges home-owners to take environmental action into their own hands, one yard at a time. This homegrown approach sidesteps the shortsightedness of governmental policy and the physical limitations of our isolated national parks-empowering us all to make our planet a better place.
