Dense development is not the enemy of green spaces in the city; it is a prerequisite for them. And vice versa.
Fly over Berlin with Google Earth, one of the densest and greenest cities in Europe.
Yes! Thanks Beth!

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.
Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social
Love when this happens in #Leipzig!

High density residential street in downtown Vancouver with 5(!) rows of street trees creating “kissing canopies”.
This is really important.
The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.
I've signed!

🚨Just launched: @vox.com's most ambitious biodviersity reporting project of the year.
@benjij.bsky.social went to Madagascar to find out what it takes to save one of the world’s most unique ecosystems — and learned that the answer begins with putting people first.
www.vox.com/climate/4649...
This is great "...a small organization is trying to restore the fishery...The goal of the project is to help people. Conservation is just a byproduct".
As the climate and biodiversity crises are caused by humans, the solution is putting people at the heart of nature conservation solutions.
