This persuasive call-to-action implores us to transform the landscapes where we live and work into functioning habitat— embracing a new, grassroots approach to conservation that is our best hope for reversing the alarming declines in biodiversity that threaten our survival. It is the most thorough discussion yet about the essential importance of native plants to all of us, and Tallamy emphasizes the joy of stewardship, reminding us how resilient our ecosystems can be when given the means to recover.
