Coming up on 22 September 2020 @ 6:00 pm, Venice Audubon chapter will present an online evening with Doug Tallamy, nationally known author and speaker. Through Audubon Florida you will be able to register for this event!
Doug Tallamy is professor of Entomology at University of Delaware and the author of Bringing Nature Home and Nature’s Best Hope. Both books are highly recommended. Taken from Dr. Tallamy’s website
“The Problem: We have destroyed natural habitat in so many places that local extinction is rampant and global extinction accelerating. This is a growing problem for humanity because it is the plants and animals around us that produce the life support we all depend on. Every time a species is lost from an ecosystem, that ecosystem is less able to support us.
The Solution: We must abandon the notion that humans and nature cannot live together. Though vital as short-term refuges, nature preserves are not large enough to be meeting our ecological needs so we must restore the natural world where we live, work and play. Because 85% of the U. S, is privately owned, our private properties are an opportunity for long-term conservation if we design them to meet the needs of life around us.”
