Why It Matters and What We Can Do. A talk by Doug Tallamy, University of Delaware. Gardening for Biodiversity in a Climate Crisis symposium by the California Native Plant Society.

In his book ‘Bringing Nature Home’, Tallamy explains why everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity by simply choosing native plants. This episode- pulled from an interview conducted during the production of the film ‘Negotiating with Nature’- expands upon these ideas and alarming facts.

Douglas Tallamy discusses simple steps that each of us can—and must—take to reverse declining biodiversity and why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one, drawing concepts from his book “Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard”.
