Edward Mayer och Debora Arlt

Föredraget är på engelska

This talk will show briefly just how important urban biodiversity is for us all. We know that the built environment has become a place to survive for many species as the countryside has become more hostile, and those who share our buildings – Swifts, Hirundines, Starlings, Wagtails, House Sparrows, and Black Redstarts as well as Bats – need places to breed and feed. By ”greening” our towns and adapting our buildings, we can keep them with us as well as provide the green spaces and green ”lungs” that provide us with the vital environment to support our physical and mental health.
