Greening the City:
Bringing Biodiversity Back
into the Urban Environment
Abstract:
Community
Involvement in Restoration
Shelley Washington (NZ Landcare Trust, Christchurch)
People have different
reasons for doing restoration such as restoring habitat for nature's
sake, for future and present generations to enjoy, and in some cases,
for economic benefit. Restoration is popular because it has significant
meaning in people's lives, and it is a tangible, enjoyable way for
people to help enhance indigenous biodiversity through recreating
areas of indigenous habitat and natural areas for people to enjoy.
The ultimate success of restoration projects depend on ongoing human
commitment and participation. Such commitment is influenced by the
level of meaning, satisfaction and achievement restoration can bring
to people's lives.
