Nature’s B est Hope, A talk by Doug Tallamy

Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer b irds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our c urrent land management practices have been at sustaining the plants and ani mals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Doug Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can - and must - take to reverse declining biodiversity and will explain why we, ourselves, are nature’s best hope.

His book Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plan ts Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens was published by Timber Press in 20 07 and was awarded the 2008 Silver Medal by the Garden Writers' Association .
