From the
New York Times
bestselling author of
Bringing Nature Home
comes an urgent and heartfelt call for a new approach to conservation—one that starts in every backyard.
Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book,
, 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,
is the blueprint you need. By acting now, you can help preserve our precious wildlife—and the planet—for future generations.
“Tallamy lays out all you need to know to participate in one of the great conservation projects of our time. Read it and get started!” —Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
The Sixth Extinction
