Synopsis
With fewer and fewer pristine places on earth left to preserve, restoration is the "new" conservation. Yet the work is anything but easy. Ecology is complex, and restoration projects are often controversial. How do we know what's natural? What should nature look like? Can we ever really turn back the clock? These debates have real consequences for the land, and for the values people live by. Nature's Restoration poses intriguing questions about how people can live on the earth without destroying its natural systems. Through detailed reporting and numerous interviews, Friederici's lyrical writing puts us on the front lines of restoration to learn how this growing movement shapes places and inspires people. Nature's Restoration relates the passion of ordinary citizens who are changing the way we think about nature. They are restoring animal habitats, reintroducing native plants, bringing back lost species, and gaining a greater intimacy with the natural world. On a planet suffering from serious ecological problems, the growing restoration movement is a refreshing attempt to set things right., Around the world, people are working to help nature heal itself. This is a lyrical look at examples of ordinary citizens aiming to return sizable tracts of the landscape to nature, and to health by preserving rare species, reversing negative ecological trends, and promoting greater intimacy with nature. The book also looks at the controversy that restoration projects provoke and ultimately how this movement shapes both places and people., Across America and around the world, people are working to helpnature heal itself. In Bermuda, a man single-handedly grows thousandsof trees on a small island to restore nesting habitat for a rare seabird. InIllinois, legions of volunteers replant prairies in the shadows offreeways. In Virginia, a farmer works to bring back the mighty Americanchestnut. What drives these individuals? How did their passions comeabout, and what are the implications for restoring the environment?Nature's Restoration: People and Places on the Front Lines ofConservation is a lyrical look at these and other examples of ordinarycitizens aiming to return sizable tracts of the American landscape tonature, and to health.
