With all public gatherings postponed or canceled, the Salisbury Forum is offering a special “webinar” with one of our most popular speakers, Douglas Tallamy. His topic is very timely with recent headlines about three billion fewer birds in North America, global insect declines, and the impending extinction of one million species world wide.

Prof. Tallamy said that such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. During his talk, illustrated with lots of colorful photos, he will discuss simple steps that each of us can –and must—take to reverse declining biodiversity and will explain why we are nature’s best hope.

Douglas Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and author of several books including Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens and The Living Landscape. His latest book, Nature’s Best Hope, was published in February 2020 and already is a New York Times best seller.
