the Green Roof Animal Initiative

The Green Roof Animal Initiative is a movement aimed at promoting the use of green roofs—vegetated rooftops that support plants and wildlife—in urban environments. These roofs help to enhance biodiversity by providing habitats for birds, insects, and other animals. By integrating green spaces into cities, the initiative supports ecological health, improves air quality, reduces urban heat, and mitigates stormwater runoff. Ultimately, it seeks to create more sustainable and livable cities by recognizing the importance of wildlife in urban planning and development.
