Nature's Best Hope

A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard

De: Douglas W. Tallamy

Narrado por: Adam Barr

Douglas W. Tallamy's first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of individuals 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.

The most important message in the world

Excellent book, solution-oriented approach, totally worth listening and teaching others by example. Stewardship needs to be the new norm.

Excellent!

Every gardener and homeowner should ready this book! It's exactly what we can each do - the little pieces that can make a huge difference!

Spread the word

(Residential) Landscaping can save the world. Its a quick listen but thorough and generously written

Highlighted my environmental ignorance

I consider myself a bonafide treehugger, slowly working to make the earth a better place. This work showed me how to focus my efforts on my own small plot of land and work in harmony with my neighbors to help the earth on a small scale that may gradually encompass large areas over time. Who knew that most of the plant selections at nurseries do not help our birds, caterpillars, and other creatures to survive in our yards? I knew invasive plants were not desirable before, but now I know why and knowledge is power!

Transformative

This is an unusually great book about nonhuman life and gardening. I strongly recommend it.

preaching to the choir

This should be required reading in high school and college. Basically preaching to the choir but had some illuminating issues that I didn't know about.

Hopeful attitude.

I enjoyed learning what I can do to help. It also made me appreciate even more the life in my garden. Just how special it was to see Bluebirds and Pileated woodpeckers this last Summer and Fall.

One of the most important books I’ve ever read

This book is full of great information and practical tips. I highly recommend it! Together, we can heal our planet.

A must read for everybody! Not just nature lovers.

This is a great book about how regular citizens can do a huge part in revitalizing our denuded and degraded natural landscapes. Mr. Tallamy shows us quite simply that if given a chance nature will find a way. The narrator does a great job with this reading. After a few sentences into the book I felt like I was listening to the author read his own work. An easy listen.

A must read

This book Should be taught in every school at eighth grade level. We need to shape the understanding of the people that will run the world.
