Green Roof Animal Initiative

The Green Roof Animal Initiative is a conservation effort focused on protecting and supporting local wildlife on green roofs—rooftop gardens planted with vegetation. These roofs provide habitats for birds, insects, and small mammals, helping to increase urban biodiversity and reduce environmental impacts like heat island effects. The initiative promotes designing and maintaining green roofs that accommodate animal needs, offering safe nesting sites, food sources, and shelter. By integrating ecological considerations into urban building practices, it aims to create healthier, more sustainable cities that coexist harmoniously with native wildlife.
