Nature's Best Hope | UAB School of Public Health

Speaker:
Dr. Doug Tallamy
Did you know that there are some things the you can do as an individual to combat climate change? Join us for an enlightening and empowering seminar where we will delve into the pressing issues of our time and explore effective strategies for positive change. Climate change affects us all, and we can all make a difference. This seminar aims to educate, inspire, and mobilize individuals and communities to take meaningful action against climate change.
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. Choosing the right plants for our landscapes will not only address the biodiversity crisis but help climate our climate crisis as well. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity, why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one, and why we, ourselves, are nature’s best hope.
