In this sequel to his previous exploration of Louisiana's bayou
country, conservationist Kelby Ouchley continues his journey
through the vast ecosystems of the state with a fresh array of
historical and cultural narratives, personal anecdotes, and
reflections. Informative and entertaining, Bayou-Diversity 2
revisits familiar flora and fauna like endangered black bears,
infamous feral hogs, and the ghostly bald cypress forest and also
explores a new selection of plants and animals, including orchids,
eels, bullbats, and cottonmouth snakes. Ouchley's thought-provoking
discussion considers the long-term human impact on Louisiana plants
and wildlife and encourages proactive conservation of Louisiana's
invaluable natural resources. Through education on conservation
ethics, altered landscapes, and climate change, he asserts that we
can and must improve our environment. ""We are inextricably
connected to the natural world,"" Ouchley writes, and ""our mutual
well-being is inseparably linked."" With page-turning narration,
Bayou-Diversity 2 provides a comprehensive look at this
awe-inspiring ecosystem and encourages generations of readers to
take on the responsibility of environmental stewardship.
