One hundred fifty years ago, Texas was a vastly different place. A sparse rural population dotted the eastern and central regions of the state, while vast expanses in the western regions remained untouched. The habitats and biodiversity of Texas underwent a remarkable transformation as its population surged and people spread across the landscape. In his book, Texas Natural History: A Century of Change (2002), David Schmidly documented the significant changes that occurred during the twentieth century. In this second edition, Schmidly is joined by colleagues Robert and Lisa Bradley of Texas Tech University to continue that story into the early twenty-first century.
The focus of Texas Natural History in the 21st Century remains centered on the state's mammalian fauna, with a reprinting of Vernon Bailey's 1905 The Biological Survey of Texas, including new annotations and updates. The rest of the book delves into the changes in landscapes, land use, and the status of Texas mammals over the past hundred years. The authors present current challenges to conserving Texas's natural history and offer long-term solutions, encompassing actions focused on both private and public lands.
As Texas faces the formidable task of preserving its wildlife, Texas Natural History in the 21st Century serves as a rallying call for addressing the scenarios jeopardizing Texas's natural history in our present day and in the future.
