Bring Nature Back to the City addresses one of the most pressing challenges
of our time: reintroducing nature into rapidly expanding urban environments.
As city populations grow at unprecedented rates, consuming ever more land
and straining both environment and government resources, this comprehensive
guide offers practical solutions for urban nature conservation.
The book focuses on aspects that will resonate with local government advisors,
environmental professionals and anyone interested in bringing nature back
to cities. It explains how to better manage green infrastructure to reduce
fragmentation and habitat loss, guiding readers towards sustainable urban nature
environments that benefit both wildlife and residents.
Featuring 214 photographs, 6 tables and 25 illustrations, the book covers urban
wetlands, watercourses, riparian zones, buffer zones and ecological corridors.
Practical annexures detail owl boxes, bird feeders, earthworm bins and organic
compost production. The author demonstrates how city developments can
be managed to accommodate ecologically sensitive urban nature areas that
enhance the environments people live in.
