What Would Nature Do?: A Guide for Our Uncertain Times is a nonfiction work by Ruth DeFries, a Columbia University professor of ecology and sustainable development and a MacArthur Fellow. Published by Columbia University Press, the book sits at the intersection of environmental science, systems thinking, public policy, and applied resilience. Its central purpose is to examine how life on Earth has endured uncertainty over billions of years and to ask what human institutions can learn from those evolved strategies. DeFries does not present nature as a simple moral authority or a set of ready made solutions. Instead, she treats natural systems as long running experiments in coping with disruption, scarcity, interdependence, and surprise. The book addresses contemporary crises such as climate change, pandemics, unstable markets, fragile supply chains, and political turbulence. Its argument is that societies designed only for speed, efficiency, and control become brittle, while systems that incorporate diversity, feedback, redundancy, and local knowledge are better prepared for shocks.
