Our Wildways depend on large protected areas like national parks and other federal lands across the continent as the building blocks of connectivity. It’s imperative these areas remain protected accessible to all, so that humans and animals alike can enjoy these refuges of biodiversity for generations to come. Photo: Robert Long
Iowan MJ Hatfield describes herself as “head over heals into the wild diversity of insects and how little we actually know about the community of life in our own backyards.” MJ’s impassioned and lyrical celebration of moths and other wild creatures in Iowa serve as a timeless reminder that, as she writes in her essay, “wildness remains around us” wherever we live.
