About this ebook
Across America and around the world, people are
working to help nature heal itself. In Bermuda, a man
single-handedly grows thousands of trees on a small
island to restore nesting habitat for a rare seabird. In
Illinois, legions of volunteers replant prairies in the
shadows of freeways. In Virginia, a farmer works to
bring back the mighty American chestnut.
What drives these individuals? How did their passions
come about, and what are the implications for
restoring the environment? Nature"s Restoration: People and Places on the
Front Lines of Conservation is a lyrical look at these and other examples
of ordinary citizens aiming to return sizable tracts of the American
landscape to nature, and to health. They"ve found success in preserving
rare species, reversing negative ecological trends, and promoting
greater intimacy with nature.
Yet the work is far from simple. Restoration projects are often in the
news not only because of the promise they hold, but also because of
the controversy they provoke. Based on detailed reporting and numerous
interviews, Nature"s Restoration puts us on the front lines of
restoration to learn how this burgeoning national movemshapes
both places and people.
