Urban landscapes are increasingly being recognised for their potential to support wildlife and bring people closer to nature. BTO is conducting research to:

  • Describe the processes influencing urban biodiversity; and
  • Better understand the value of urban biodiversity for human well-being.

This work provides a crucial evidence base for informing wildlife-friendly urban landscape planning and management across the UK.
