The Birds & The Bees

With 2.5b more people expected to move to cities by 2050, supporting urban biodiversity is becoming increasingly urgent. Global wildlife populations have declined by 70% in the last 50 years. Cities are getting bigger while wildlife habitat is disappearing.

Birds and pollinators can thrive in cities. They need habitat, and that habitat needs to be connected. Expanding native habitat has many co-benefits: natural vegetation reduces solar gain, which means buildings are less dependent on air conditioning; and rain gardens retain rainfall, reducing the volume of polluted runoff entering our waters.

Stay tuned for this new project suporting new native habitat, bird-safe materials, and urban biodiversity research!
