    [synopsis] => "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



 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. An 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 professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 97 research publications and has taught insect-related courses for 40 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. Among his awards are the Garden Club of America Margaret Douglas Medal for Conservation and the Tom Dodd, Jr. Award of Excellence, the 2018 AHS B. Y. Morrison Communication Award, and the 2019 Cynthia Westcott Scientific Writing Award. Doug is author of Bringing Nature Home, Nature's Best Hope, and The Nature of Oaks; and co-founder with Michelle Alfandari of HOMEGROWN NATIONAL PARK®. Learn more at HNPARK.org.  In Nature's Best Hope, Douglas W. Tallamy urges homeowners 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.

   "Doug 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



 "Tallamy is one of the most original and persuasive present-day authors on conservation." -Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University



 "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 Last Child in the Woods and Our Wild Calling

  

 "Here is one area where individual action really can help make up for all that government fails to do: your backyard can provide the margin to keep species alive. Mow less, think more!"-Bill McKibben, author of Falter



 "Tallamy is a key contributor to the explosive leap in public understanding of the impact of humans on the natural world and how we can repair the damage we cause."-Grandy Drummer

  

 "Tallamy shows how to transform yards into ecological wonderlands full of vibrant life. Your local birds, butterflies, and plants will thank you for learning from his wise advice."-David George Haskell, author of The Forest Unseen, Pulitzer finalist, and The Songs of Trees
