Douglas Tallamy | Nature's Best Hope | Talks at Google

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". Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable, and by acting now, you can help preserve our precious wildlife—and the planet—for future generations. Doug Tallamy is the T.A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 106 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 41 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His books include "Bringing Nature Home", published by Timber Press in 2007; "The Living Landscape", co-authored with Rick Darke and published in 2014; "Nature's Best Hope", a New York Times Best Seller, released in February 2020, and his latest book "The Nature of Oaks" was released by Timber press in March 2021. In 2021 he co-founded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari. His awards include recognition from The Garden Writer’s Association, Audubon, The National Wildlife Federation, The Garden Club of America and The American Horticultural Association.
