Ep 10: Innovative ways to boost biodiversity in urban gardens

Did you know that over half the world’s population, that’s more than 4 billion people, now live in urban areas? As our population grows so does our urban development. This concrete sprawl negatively impacts biodiversity in these changing ecosystems. But it’s not all doom and gloom.

In this episode we’ll hear how three businesses are bringing nature back into the urban jungle to help communities and wildlife thrive. From DIY residential gardens to commercial scale greenwalls and biosolar roofs as well as indigenous cultural landscape design. All three have different approaches, but there is a shared end vision – plant a rich variety of native species that will encourage biodiversity and make our urban environment hum a green tune.
