Nature's Best Hope with Professor Douglas Tallamy A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard
b'
According to those who know, we are in the midst of the Sixth Great Extinction, this one brought on by the activities of human civilization that are resulting in a species extinction rate that is estimated to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than natural extinction rates.\\xa0 So far, efforts to protect endangered plants, animals and insects have proven inadequate to the challenge.\\xa0 What are we to do?
\\nJoin host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation with Professor Douglas Tallamy, who teaches in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. \\xa0He is the author of Nature\\u2019s Best Hope\\u2014a New Approach to conservation that Starts in Your Yard, published in 2019, and a just-published companion version for children, subtitled How You Can Save the World in Your Own Yard.\\xa0 Both books propose what some might consider a radical approach to protecting species through transformation of front and back yards into conservation zones.
