Populations of cities have grown at unprecedented rate, consuming
ever more land, placing severe strain on the environment and also
on cash-strapped governments. Nature needs to be reintroduced to
our cities. This book is focused on urban nature conservation,
aspects that will resonate with advisors to local government,
people interested in bringing back nature to our cities and anyone
with a keen interest in nature. Our ecosystems are under threat and
green infrastructure needs to be better managed so that there will
be less fragmentation and habitat loss. All of us have to live more
towards a sustainable urban nature environment. This book guides
all of us how to address nature on our doorsteps. There are 214
photos, 6 tables and 25 illustrations on principles of urban nature
conservation. The book informs how to participate and synchronise
lifestyles to contribute to sustainable urban nature environments.
Urban wetlands, watercourses, riparian zones, buffer zones,
ecological corridors and functions are explained. The annexures in
the book described owl boxes, bird feeders, earthworm bins and how
to produce organic compost. What is important is that more and more
people move to cities and city developments encroach upon nature
areas. These encroachments can be managed to accommodate
ecologically sensitive urban nature areas. These areas can be
utilised in ways that it will benefit the environment people live
in.
