They are also removing trees within this area as a study has been done that found out the trees have been tapping into the soil gathering methane.

  • Creating a world where animals can thrive with humans.

  • preservation of animal species

  • Installation of roofs and walls have been recorded to provide support for a range of taxa.

  • succession is dependent on the urban citizens around the area, keeping and managing the habitats.

  • maintainance plays a significant role to keep vegatation available for different biodiversity.

  • considered and called green walls and green roofs.

  • reduces urban heat affect and can provide better air quality within the area.

    Benefits 

    • Climate:

      • Urban heat island effect: Reduce the heat island effect by storing water and evaporating it, which cools the city

      • Stormwater management: Store water to reduce flooding

      • Air quality: Improve air quality by increasing biodiversity

    • Energy:

      • Insulation: Improve building insulation, which can reduce energy bills

    • Urban living:

      • Thermal comfort: Improve thermal comfort for people living on top floors

      • Quality of life: Create a more liveable environment

    Potential

    • About a quarter of roofs in Amsterdam could be equipped with blue-green roofs 

    • Blue-green roofs can reduce temperatures by 0.3°C at street level 

    • Blue-green roofs can support a wider variety of plants than conventional green roofs 

    Challenges 

    • Not every building is suitable for blue-green roofs because of weight capacity

    Future

    Green roofs and living walls are expected to become standard components of new buildings and renovations in Amsterdam. They are an important part of the city's sustainability goals

    Since the late Pleistocene, human predation and anthropogenic impacts have been major causes of tortoise extinction and endangerment.

    Tortoises can be regarded as low-risk taxon substitutes due to their diets and minimal reintroduction requirements.

    it is likely that tortoises introduced as taxon substitutions would be able to reestablish some ecosystem functions of the extinct tortoises and become integral parts of their new ecosystems.

    They are easy to breed and have high survival rates, they are important for small conservation management.

    However there are important considerations and risks that will need mitigating before moving forward on any tortoise taxon substitution program.

  • One way to reverse ecosystem dysfunction following the loss of species interactions

  • It is the introduction of exotic species to replace the ecosystem functions of recently extinct species.

  • These tortoises were chosen because they could reach more leaves and access more food than those with short necks, natural selection.
