Urban Ecology and Biodiversity

The SES monitors urban biodiversity, determining its vulnerability to urbanisation and climate change, and explores scientifically tested and ecologically just solutions for its conservation.

This work focuses on:

• Monitoring and documenting urban biodiversity.
• Impact of climate change and urbanisation on urban biodiversity.
• Conservation of biodiversity, prioritising threatened species and ecosystems.
• Informing, educating, and developing policy guidelines to scale-up conservation.
• Implementing conservation action for biodiversity and ecosystem services hotspots.
