Renowned author and professor Doug Tallamy will discuss the link between plants, insects, and human well-being, and steps we can take to restore biodiversity. Humans are nature's best hope.
Recent headlines about global insect declines, the impending extinction of one million species worldwide, and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living.
The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Join Doug Tallamy, renowned professor and researcher, for a discussion on simple steps that each of us can--and must--take to reverse declining biodiversity. He shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats.
Tallamy is best known for the national conversation he sparked more than a decade ago about the link between healthy ecosystems and human well-being. His first book, Bringing Nature Home, emphasized the solid tie between native plant species, native insects, and the rest of the food chain essential for a healthy world. His 2020 best-selling book Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard continues the discussion
