· the rapid growth of urban areas often forces wildlife to seek new habitats or adapt to living in close proximity to human communities. While urban forests are managed by and for people, it is important to recognize that communities of wildlife can be beneficiaries of urban forests, too. Collaborative and edu-cational activities with bird-watching groups may offer new insights and opportunities for urban for-estry and the wildlife that depend on our success. · land use changes refer to shifts in how human societies interact with and modify the earth’s surface. Creating an answer for you using ai. · here, we use a recently developed suite of land - use projections to provide an assessment of projected habitat that will be lost to urban land expansion for 30,393 species of terrestrial vertebrates from 2015 to 2050 across three shared socioeconomic pathway (ssp) scenarios. · urban expansion can impact natural habitats by changing land covers, and then threatening biodiversity. This displacement can lead to conflicts between humans and wildlife, as animals may encroach upon urban spaces in search of food and shelter. · here the authors develop a set of global, long-term, spatial projections of urban land expansion for understanding the planet’s potential urban futures. You should not rely on this feature for medical, financial, or legal advice. Despite biodiversity loss being more pronounced in cities, traditional conservation efforts such as establishing large, protected areas and restoring native vegetation are largely undertaken far from urban landscapes. Ai-generated content may sometimes contain inaccurate, incomplete, or biased information, so make sure you do additional research. Assessing the impacts of future urban expansion on natural habitats is fundamental for achieving the 2050 vision for biodiversity of living in harmony with nature. · rapid urbanization is contributing to unprecedented biodiversity decline worldwide. This involves transforming natural landscapes for various human activities , such as agriculture, urban development, or forestry.
