“It is your efforts as an individual that will determine whether we succeed or fail, and whether we live in a world thriving with life or one in which little stirs.” -Douglas Tallamy
Nature's Best Hope by Douglas Tallamy
Douglas Tallamy, professor of entomology and ecology at the University of Delaware and author of Nature's Best Hope, puts the onus on all of us to act now for the survival of life on planet Earth. What we are doing in our parks and preserves is not enough, as evidenced by continued species loss. He provides practical tips for reestablishing natural landscapes in our privately owned and rented spaces.
It's all hands on deck, and Tallamy makes it clear what we can do to ensure there is hope for generations to come. Tallamy calls our time the “Age of Ecological Enlightenment” and says, “We are on the cusp of a new environmental ethic.” According to Tallamy, this ethic “is the only option left for Homo sapiens if we want to remain viable in the future.”
