Full title: The Biodiversity Victory Garden: Mitigating Global Species Loss with the 21st Century City
Inspired by the success of Victory Garden campaigns during WWII, this project similarly animates research into grassroots action, offering hope during a global crisis. Human activities have brought about the sixth mass extinction event and conservation alone will not save species from decline; habitat must be stitched into our cities to achieve the global 30 x 2030 challenge. The Biodiversity Victory Garden movement offers simple actions to activate home gardens and interstitial, urban spaces into a rich network for biodiversity.
