How can we promote and preserve living spaces for plants and animals in the city? The practical handbook for the cities of Switzerland. In urban areas, biodiversity is often particularly high.

Urban areas exhibit a great diversity of habitats in a confined space and are therefore attractive to numerous plant and animal species. For many of them, cities provide a substitute for the habitats that have been lost in rural areas. Cities and other urban spaces are thus of great importance for biodiversity in Switzerland. But how can these habitats be preserved and designed to remain attractive to animals and plants in the long term? How can additional habitats be created? And what can each citizen contribute? This practical handbook shows us.
