🦥Sloths... and What's That?

The Connected Gardens project is a scalable, community-driven solution addressing the often-overlooked challenge of ‘micro-fragmentation’ in urban areas. This happens when breaks in canopy connectivity are caused by human infrastructure like buildings and roads. By reconnecting these canopy gaps and engaging landowners, we are creating vast networks of biological corridors that not only restore ecological balance but also empower local communities.

The global human population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and by 2030, urban land cover is expected to expand by 1.2 million km2, nearly tripling the urban area from the year 2000. To protect wildlife, it is essential to create sustainable developments that allow species to move freely and safely across human-modified landscapes.
