#Urban #WildlifeCorridors Help Mitigate #Climate Effects

Kyle Chan February 26, 2025

Excerpt: "#GreenCorridors offer a promising start to mitigating these urban issues, allowing cities to naturally lower temperatures through evapotranspiration, a plant process that releases water vapor to cool the surrounding air. Increased vegetation will also allow more hazardous particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, reducing greenhouse gas concentration and improving air quality.

"#Columbia’s second-largest city, #Medellín, launched a green corridor initiative in 2016. Since then, environmental planners there added rows of vegetation along the most polluted avenues, maximizing the amount of CO2 intake from their $16.8 million investment. Maurício Correa, a researcher studying environmental engineering at a Colombian University, found that the 8,800 trees planted became effective 'green barriers' against particulate matter and reduced average city temperature by two degrees Celsius.

"Fighting #ClimateChange isn’t the only thing green corridors can do. Historically, #wildlife has rarely been welcomed into urban life, experiencing drastic changes in the #ecosystem. However, nature-based infrastructure can promote #biodiversity and provide animal species with a safe habitat. Green corridors are indeed multi-purpose and flexible. To maximize the limited space in busy cities, green corridors can function as recreational centers, city facilities and much more—all while mitigating climate change.

"Green corridors can be an effective solution for any city anywhere. In #NewYork, the #ManhattanWaterfrontGreenway consists of almost 32 miles of #BikePath lined with various plant species. Urban '#NatureWays' in #Singapore mimic the natural #rainforests by incorporating trees with #canopies stretching across the roads."

#Forest #canopies offer #habitats for a high #biodiversity, but are for us difficult to access, so many #biologists must deal with ground-level research. However, #technicaloptions have improved in recent decades. M.

We fitted four walkway canopies to the entrance of The Cherry Tree this week.   This is a great little pub in the heart of High Wycombe.  These dome shaped canopies are a great way of extending seating areas outside, without your guests being subjected to the great British weather! #Canopies #pubawnings #RadiantBlinds #thecherrytree #thecherrytreehighwycombe

Burger & Lobster in Market Street, Brighton had three new canopies fitted last week to their premises.     Two of the canopies had fixed round ends and the other was a fixed dome shape.   All covered in this fabulous red fabric with signwriting.
