Description
Summary:2010 was International Biodiversity Year and it is therefore logical to observe that it is no longer acceptable to say that the weakening of animal and vegetable diversity has nothing to do with human activity. In this article we will suggest a number of actions that will be helpful in a program of sustainable territorial development and which are specifically aimed at improving the human environment while rehabilitating the natural world and emphasizing that it is of primary importance. One of our objectives will be to demonstrate the need for a multi-scale approach to planning procedures and to encourage the integration of questions of biodiversity and landscape into projects by taking an overall, large-scale view of the problems rather than a merely local one. Taking into account all the stages from planning to operational implementation, we will attempt to list the systems and options available to improve and influence biodiversity in larger territorial planning projects. Our main objective is to show the principle questions that may be addressed by improving the diversity of flora and fauna in urban areas.
