Bringing Nature Home, Updated and Expanded

How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants

De: Douglas W. Tallamy, Rick Darke - foreword

Narrado por: Jonathan Todd Ross

As development and subsequent habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. But there is an important and simple step toward reversing this alarming trend: Everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity.

There is an unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife - native insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. In many parts of the world, habitat destruction has been so extensive that local wildlife is in crisis and may be headed toward extinction.

Bringing Nature Home has sparked a national conversation about the link between healthy local ecosystems and human well-being, and this audio edition will help broaden the movement. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical recommendations, everyone can make a difference.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent Information

I bought this on audible first. Once I realized how much information it contained, I had to buy the book, and have already referenced it many times. Thank you!

Saving our world one native plant at a time

This book really brought to light what I can do as one person to help our natural world. It was easy to listen to and I will use it as a reference in the future.

life changing! I have a new mission in my life!

This has changed my life. I really do have a new mission to help save my world! Please join us!?

Compelling - I have a new passion!

Thanks for an eye-opening book about ways that we all can make a difference in preserving our ecosystems and wildlife. I’m making changes already and am excited to contribute!

Great listen!

Living in NE PA, it was a great surprise that the author is from the same area and provides a lot of info from this region. A lot of well presented information, I would definitely recommend for anyone even slightly interested in reclamation ecology.

Amazing

Doug Tallamy never disappoints! If you never read another book you must read this one. Truly eye opening.

 Necessary listen!

This should be required reading for every person on earth. Please support our fragile ecosystem!

Life changing

I found this book to be life changing. I ripped most plants out (except mature trees) and we are going with all natives. A lot of species noted are from the East, however he does provides a website where you can search for native plants in your area. The website indicates which plants are most valuable to wildlife.

plant talk that keeps you interested

Tallamy makes a compelling case for why it is helpful to plant native species.

I love this book!

I have listened to this book more than 15 times. It has inspired me to completely redesign my gardens to support biodiversity. There are a few aliens remaining, my beloved Japanese maples, but the rest is all focused on building a sustainable habitat for our birds and insects. I am forever grateful to Mr. Tallamy for writing this book. Let’s all go native!
