报告内容简介： The rapid development and growth of cities and villages around the globe are having a significant impact on local and global biodiversity. Urban landscapes create environmental conditions that can exert considerable pressure on organisms, and often under accelerated timeframes compared to more natural environments, that limit the ability of organisms to persist. I will present a synthesis of the complex issues surrounding the persistence of green space in Asian cities and its role in the preservation, restoration and management of biodiversity. I will also provide some practical guidelines for how biodiversity can be effectively managed in different contexts to create more sustainable and resilient Asian cities in the future.
