Nature and Biodiversity
Why New York City’s biodiversity plan matters to the world
New York has been slow to respond to the green agenda – but this unlikely hub of biodiversity can set a global example with its new framework on urban nature
Our work amplifies grassroots efforts to build a more sustainable and resilient urban future. We stake out ambitious policy and investment in biodiversity, greenspaces, and ecosystem services in cities by weaving nature into the everyday lives of city dwellers, pushing politicians on ecologically informed policy and helping to mainstream biodiversity globally. PopUP Forest is a project of the NYC Biodiversity Task Force.
