Bosques Urbanos para un Mundo Habitable 🌳✨ Os #BosquesUrbanos son áreas verdes nas cidades que: 🦉 Son refuxio de #biodiversidade, regulan a temperatura e reducen o ruído. 🌍 Axudan a mitigar o cambio climático, captando CO2. 🏃‍♂️ Ofrecen espazos de lecer, con aire fresco e menos contaminados.

En las grandes ciudades, los barrios más ricos suelen tener más árboles, más aves y, en definitiva, más espacios verdes. Este fenómeno, conocido como “efecto lujo", revela una desigualdad ambiental. https://efeverde.com/efecto-lujo-biodiversidad-ciudades/

Finally, 254 nests of three urban species were examined. I think this is a very interesting contribution to the topic of plastic pollution and urban wildlife.

Only two days until our next online seminar! This time with @gematsu.com from @mizer.bsky.social Ready to know more about Ants 🐜 in the city🌇?

Ante la crisis ecosocial, más que conocimiento, tal vez nos faltan vínculos. Vivimos rodeados de vida. A veces, sin darnos cuenta. Cada árbol o lagartija con la que nos cruzamos forma parte de una red de relaciones ecológicas. Y tal vez sepamos ponerles nombre o número a algunas de esas especies.

En el #DíaMundialDeLasCiudades recordamos que el futuro urbano se construye respirando aire limpio. 🌿 En el #ManifiestoCleanCities, junto con @cleancitiescampaign.org, defendemos el compromiso compartido por ciudades que cuidan. ¿Te unes con tu firma? 💚 #CiudadesHabitables #CleanCities
