what measures can help to sustain forest resources in urban areas
Answers
Many landscape features that increase livability for people can also play an important role in sustaining native wildlife populations. Cities are often built in close proximity to features important to fish and wildlife habitats, such as the confluence of rivers. While urban development can fragment larger habitat areas, urban areas can contain key natural areas and features that offer significant benefits to fish and wildlife. The role for urban ecosystems in fish and wildlife conservation has become increasingly recognized in recent decades. Public greenspaces set aside in urban areas engage people in nature and enable residents to enjoy the outdoors where they live and work. This builds an awareness of habitat conservation and restoration actions that they can see every day.
