Urban Biodiversity

Urban biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals, and other organisms that thrive in cities and towns. It encompasses everything from trees and parks to birds, insects, and microorganisms found in urban environments. This diversity is important because it supports ecosystems, enhances quality of life, and contributes to resilience against climate change. Urban biodiversity can improve air quality, support pollination, and provide recreational spaces. Efforts to preserve and promote biodiversity in cities can lead to healthier, more sustainable environments for both people and wildlife.
