Urban Conservation?

Ask a room full of people to define urban conservation, and you’ll get a dozen different answers. But one thing’s for certain: you know it when you see it. Urban conservation focuses on transforming neighborhoods into greener, healthier spaces while addressing challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequitable access to nature. By investing in urban environments, we connect people to nature in meaningful ways and lay the foundation for resilient, inclusive communities.
