The captivating story of an urban family who welcomes wildlife into
their backyard and discovers the ups and downs of sharing habitat
For James Barilla and his family, the dream of transforming their
Columbia, South Carolina, backyard into a haven for wildlife evoked
images of kids catching grasshoppers by day and fireflies at night,
of digging up potatoes and picking strawberries. When they signed
up with the National Wildlife Federation to certify their yard as a
wildlife habitat, it felt like pushing back, in however small a
way, against the tide of bad news about vanishing species, changing
climate, dying coral reefs. Then the animals started to arrive, and
Barilla soon discovered the complexities (and possible mayhem) of
merging human with animal habitats. What are the limits of
coexistence, he wondered? To find out, Barilla set out across
continents to explore cities where populations of bears, monkeys,
marmosets, and honeybees live alongside human residents. My
Backyard Jungle brings these unique stories together, making
Barilla's yard the centerpiece of a meditation on possibilities for
coexistence with animals in an increasingly urban world. Not since
Gerald Durrell penned My Family and Other Animals have readers
encountered a naturalist with such a gift for storytelling and such
an open heart toward all things wild.
