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.

Additional motivation to convert our front lawn “into a conservation corridor” and create a more biodiverse landscape! Good for animals, plants, and humans!
Inspiring, I have looked up native plants around me now and tbh I don't care about gardening other than wanting to make sure there's butterfly/bee attractors here, plus maybe some basic veggies. (I heard far too many rants about everything nature-related from MIL, who bragged about being as organic as possible, and her approach to all of life was “everyone but myself is an idiot” - it quickly became difficult to care about sharing her interests or trying to help her change her opinions, so this is not a book I was expecting to like.)
