Is Mankind Nature’s Best Hope for Biodiversity? Find Out in This Webinar
The tHRIve web series from the Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) will hold its final session for the year on Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. EST, titled “Nature’s Best Hope,” hosted by Dr. Doug Tallamy, Entomologist, Conservationist, and Professor at the University of Delaware and co-founder of Homegrown National Park.
The Final tHRIve 2025 Session — ‘Nature’s Best Hope’
With recent news regarding global insect population declines throughout North America, it’s clear that modern landscape design has been a failure at attracting plants and animals needed to sustain the world. Therefore, to fight against the threat of collapse and to raise the standard of living across the planet, the “Nature’s Best Hope” session looks at how to choose the right plants to address the biodiversity and climate crises.
Dr. Doug Tallemy will discuss simple steps that anyone can (and must) take to reverse the trend of declining biodiversity, and explore how to change man’s adversarial relationship with nature into a collaborative one, which allows mankind to be nature’s best hope.
