Abstract Urban biodiversity conservation is critical if cities are to tackle the biodiversity‐extinction crisis and connect people with nature. However, little attention has been paid how urban environmental managers navigate complex socio‐ecological contexts conserve in cities. We interviewed from Australian identify (1) breadth of actions undertaken (2) barriers enablers action. found current practice be more diverse, innovative, proactive than previously described (318 across nine categories). Conversely, priority identified by literature yet “mainstream” (e.g., designing for human–nature connection, securing space nature cities). Further, we a suite levers overcome barriers. Our research provides scientists practitioners an understanding multiple facets emphasizes importance interdisciplinary approaches future practice.

Abstract: Given that death is a natural occurrence, disposing of the dead especially corpses an unavoidable and necessary part human life. In order to appropriately dispose deceased, land use planning crucial since improper handling could jeopardize environmental, psychological, health. Nigeria, laws have not stopped urban growth due urbanization shifting societal attitudes. Public authorities usually only consider residential, commercial, industrial, institutional uses like schools, hospitals, stadiums when allocating state directly or through agencies, despite fact country's population has grown from 70 million in 1973 nearly 200 recent years. The matters burial require consideration both general management standpoint. development execution environmental policy on disposal deceased should be localized, taking into account characteristics residents certain areas. This evaluation determined living's for encompasses creating comfortable environment ultimate resting place, interring remains, ensuring subsequent maintenance designated area conducted with dignity hygiene. From municipal standpoint, regarded as essential obligatory public service.

Urban settlements can support significant biodiversity and provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Remote sensing (RS) offers valuable tools for monitoring conserving urban biodiversity. Our research, funded by the Italian Recovery Resilience Plan (National Biodiversity Future Centre—Urban Biodiversity), undertakes systematic scientific review to assess current status future prospects evaluation using RS. An extensive literature search indexed peer-reviewed papers published between 2008 2023 was conducted on Scopus database, selective choice keywords. After screening titles, abstracts, keywords 500 articles, 117 relevant were retained meta-data analysis. analysis incorporated technical (e.g., sensor, platform, algorithm), geographic country, city extent, population) ecological (biodiversity target, organization level, biome) meta-data, examining their frequencies, temporal trends (Generalized Linear Model—GLM), covariations (Cramer’s V). The rise in publications over time is linked increased availability imagery, enhanced computing power, growing awareness importance Most research focused Northern Hemisphere large metropolitan areas, with smaller cities often overlooked. Consequently, data coverage predominantly concentrated Mediterranean temperate habitats, limited attention given boreal, desert, tropical biomes.

Evaluating several biodiversity descriptors and considering spatial scales might elucidate conservation issues improve monitoring in urban environments. We estimated species richness (order q = 0), Shannon diversity 1), Simpson 2) based on Hill numbers performed cluster analysis non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) to compare seven micro-watersheds a peri-urban site across northern Andean city (Medellín, Colombia). found 113 diurnal resident bird species: 50 (44 %) exclusively within sites, 21 (19 the periurban site, 42 (37 shared species. Some watersheds had similar but diversities were always lower, showing decrease local when abundances considered. Bird composition differed between with all grouped altogether by NMDS analysis, forming its own group. This suggests homogenization of due turnover decreasing areas, endemic, near endemic rare restricted areas where native forest remnants persist. Several at more are needed better understand patterns cities design planning strategies that prevent loss.
