Wildlife Corridors: Creating green corridors and connectivity networks to facilitate the movement of wildlife between fragmented urban habitats.
-
Community Engagement and Education: Urban Agriculture: Promoting community gardens, rooftop farms, and urban agriculture initiatives to enhance food security, promote local food production, and foster community engagement. Citizen Science Programs: Involving residents in monitoring and conservation efforts, such as birdwatching or tree planting events, to raise awareness and build stewardship of urban ecosystems.
-
Health and Well-being: Therapeutic Landscapes: Designing urban green spaces with elements such as walking trails, water features, and native vegetation to promote physical activity, stress reduction, and mental health. Nature Play Areas: Creating natural playgrounds and recreational spaces for children to connect with nature, foster creativity, and support cognitive development.
