Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens
of Douglas W. Tallamy
Description
As development and subsequent habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. But there is an important and simple step toward reversing this alarming trend: Everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity.There is an unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlifeânative insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. In many parts of the world, habitat destruction has been so extensive that local wildlife is in crisis and may be headed toward extinction.Bringing Nature Home has sparked a national conversation about the link between healthy local ecosystems and human well-being, and the new paperback editionâwith an expanded resource section and updated photosâwill help broaden the movement. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical recommendations, everyone can make a difference.
