Native trees are best for wildlife

Tree-lined streets, while far more attractive than their tree-less counterparts, may provide little benefit for biodiversity or native wildlife if they’re filled with a single species of non-native canopy tree.

Encouraging urban wildlife

More sensitive urban design can complement the remnant vegetation, parks and waterways in our cities to provide critical resources for wildlife.

Building greener cities helps people thrive too

A new approach to urban design which treats biodiversity as an opportunity, rather than a constraint, would improve the quality of life of future city dwellers as well as help protect ever more threatened urban habitats and species.
