The urban environments of the world continue to grow and encroach on the native habitat of species worldwide. The subsequent loss of available habitat has been a major contributing factor to one of the fastest extinction rates of plants and animals in recorded history. The loss of biodiversity worldwide will likely have a cascade of adverse consequences that directly impact the livelihoods of people. One such impact is the major decrease in abundance of important pollinator species such as birds and bees. Without the pollinating functions carried out by these various species, much of the important reproductive processes of natural and agricultural ecosystems will be compromised and could result in massive repercussions for the food security of people worldwide.

 

Recognizing these threats, the Urban Nestwork came together in hopes of reducing the ecological footprint of the city by creating urban bird habitat that invites native bird species back into our city. Various birdhouses can be bought by community members across the city and will be geo-referenced on our interactive "nestwork" map to monitor the growth of available habitat for birds.


Lets invite birds back into the city and our lives!
