TALLAMY: I included chapters like that because we were never taught these things. How can I expect somebody to understand that conservation is important when they don’t know what biodiversity does, when they don’t know how much we depend on it totally? Or what evolution or natural selection is.So, it’s a little primer to basic ecological knowledge that will help you understand how important these issues are.

TALLAMY: Well, I’m getting closer to retirement, but I just graduated a master’s student who is looking at how we landscape underneath our trees.in creating the caterpillars that drive the food web. But those caterpillars drop from the tree and they pupate in the ground. And how we landscape under those trees determines whether or not those caterpillars will survive. So, that’s really an important addition to our landscape management tools.You want uncompacted areas where we’re not walking, which means beds around our trees. If you’re mowing or walking under it, you’re squishing all those caterpillars.

So, we ranked all of the plant genera in North America in terms of their ability to support caterpillars and keep that food web going. We haven’t published it yet, but now we’ve got that data for every country in the world.TALLAMY: I always like to convey a sense of responsibility. It’s not just the job of a few ecologists or conservation biologists. It’s everybody’s responsibility because we all need it.

You can do that by voting properly. You can do that by not hindering conservation efforts, or you can actively do it right on your own property. But everybody has a responsibility to do it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Las fuerzas armadas de Estados Unidos gastaron más de 6.000 millones de dólares en los últimos tres años para reclutar y retener soldados, en lo que ha sido una creciente campaña para contrarrestar la escasez de alistamientos.Los incentivos financieros para enlistarse nuevamente en el Ejército, la Marina, la Fuerza Aérea y los Marines incrementaron drásticamente desde 2022 hasta el año pasado, y la Marina invirtió mucho más que las demás instituciones, de acuerdo con los totales de financiamiento dados a conocer. La cantidad total de bonos de reclutamiento también aumentó de manera constante, impulsada por incrementos significativos en el gasto del Ejército y el Cuerpo de Marines.
