"Our Better Nature: Hopeful Excursions in Saving Biodiversity" with Author Curt Lindberg - Friday, May 5, 4:30 pm at the Westminster West Church 44 Church Street, Putney.

All are invited to an event on Friday, May 5, sponsored by the Living Earth Action Group and the Vermont Alliance for Half-Earth to celebrate the book Our Better Nature: Hopeful Excursions in Saving Biodiversity edited by Curt Lindberg and Eric Hagen. Full of beautiful color photographs and illustrations, the book is a collection of new essays by regional conservation experts and of stories about creative citizens who are protecting and restoring nature. Dedicated to pioneering biologist and author E.O. Wilson, Our Better Nature inspires individuals and communities to expand Vermont's framework for sustaining biodiversity beyond borders and into meaningful action to protect nature in our backyards and around the world. The book addresses what E.O. Wilson called the gravest challenge facing the planet: the loss of biodiversity and the current extinction crisis. In the face of this crisis, Our Better Nature offers messages of hope. Curt will join us for this conversation and will also talk about how we can all participate in another new alliance, Biodiversity Vermont.

Come learn why Bill McKibben writes, "This book could not be more timely, more charming, more useful, or more needed! Anyone who cares about our small and lovely state will want to spend time with it—its impact will spread beyond Vermont's borders."
