Ecosystem services for the city
The environmental services provided by nature are important for people's development and quality of life.
Urban nature reserves are the ideal space. Both for the recreation and health of the inhabitants living near them, as well as for the provision of environmental services. The reserve allows the conservation of drinking water, temperature regulation and air purification.
Every day, society recognizes Urban Natural Areas for their high sustainable value. The creation of urban natural reserves aims to protect different species of native plants and animals native to a given region, as well as to protect forests and lagoons, among other areas.
Since their recognition does not yet have national scope, financing is the most difficult thing to obtain to maintain this type of reserve. In general, municipalities are in charge of developing them through local ordinances. But for this to happen, it is necessary to sensitize decision-makers, which is why the university includes communication and awareness-raising activities.
