#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."

Can't Stop, Won't Stop 🛑 for #monochromemonday
Guess who uploaded the wrong version of this before, again, because they are not capable of any form of organization? 🥲
I know it's not completely monochrome because of the red sign - but I like the little pop of red and I feel that I must keep it! 😂✨

one thing I love about my area is that years later, I've STILL not seen all the murals there are to see ☺️

Liziba Monorail Station, where the #trains go through a residential building! 🚈 (Which do you think came first? The answer: Both the station and the #building were actually constructed together!) Chongqing, #China.
