To create ‘Dune’, Frank Herbert found inspiration in unlikely places.
Conservation practices of the Indigenous tribes of the Pacific Northwest taught him about ecology, and helped inspire the planet Arrakis. Thanks to Leslie Reid’s pioneering ecological study “The Sociology of Nature” he found a model for the ecosystem of Arrakis in the Guano islands of Peru.
The ecological movement fully embraced 'Dune' after its publication in 1965.
