#Cities with extensive #waterways can exhibit higher levels of #urban #biodiversity; however, modified and slow-flowing #rivers and #canals can also release #methane and #carbon #dioxide, which support #globalwarming. Their importance as #flightcorridors for the urban #dispersal of #flying #animalspecies should not be overlooked. Pictured here: the #Spree River in #Berlin.

Although Tropical Rainforests cover only about three percent of #Earth’s surface area, they are home to around half the planet’s #AnimalSpecies.
