Nature Conservation

Urban biodiversity is the variety of plant and animal life in cities, from trees and pollinators to birds and aquatic species. Enhancing it through green spaces, wildlife corridors, microforests, and river restoration creates healthier, more resilient cities. Cities often drive biodiversity loss through habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Restoring and protecting nature regulates temperatures, improves air and water quality, boosts carbon sequestration, reduces flooding, and supports local wildlife. Urban forests, pollinator meadows, and green roofs also lessen the urban heat island effect. Strengthening biodiversity requires weaving nature into city planning with green infrastructure, native planting, and habitat restoration. Policies protecting green spaces, encouraging native species, and promoting pollinator-friendly landscapes are vital. Community engagement, urban forestry, and ecological design in new developments further advance these goals.
