In Nature's Best Hope he takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots home-grown approach to conservation. Nature's Best Hope advocates for homeowners everywhere to turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. This home-based approach doesnt rely on the federal government and protects the environment from the whims of politics. It is also easy to do and readers will walk away with specific suggestions they can incorporate into their own yards. Nature's Best Hope is nature writing at its bestrooted in history progressive in its advocacy and above all actionable and hopeful. By proposing practical measures that ordinary people can easily do Tallamy gives us reason to believe that the planet can be preserved for future generations.
