It's here! 🌳🌱🐸🦜 Our free e-book, 'Cities for People and Nature', is now live bit.ly/CitiesPeopleNa… We hope you find it engaging, thought-provoking and inspiring, as we all prepare to tackle the many challenges that cities will face in coming decades. #CitiesPeopleNature

"While our research has already changed cities in Australia for the better, its true impact will be measured in the years and the decades to come." As we conclude six years of research, our Hub Leader @urbanfrogger reflects on our journey nespurban.edu.au/2021/05/31/ref… #farewell 🌏🌿🐝

Have you read the latest release of Cities People Love? CAUL articles: 🐸 Maintaining biodiversity in the city: The role of local-government planning 🌆 Enhancing biodiversity in cities through design 🌳 Can't see the forest for the trees (being removed) citiespeoplelove.co

Indigenous knowledge systems and Indigenous science are key to living sustainably in Australia’s urban environments. This #NRW2021 we're reflecting on our work making space for Indigenous voices and perspectives in cities👉nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl… #Reconciliation #MoreThanAWord

Following six years of research, we’re conducting a stakeholder survey to assess our impact over the Hub’s lifetime. If you could spare 5-10 minutes of your time, we would value your thoughts and feedback! melbourneuni.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3I…

How can we make cities better places for people and nature? CAUL-Hub researchers have developed tools and resources that are currently being used to improve the practice of urban biodiversity conservation. Read more about our impact 👉 nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl… #naturelovers

From transforming neglected streetscapes to increased use of native plants, our urban greening research has drawn attention to the ways home gardeners can support greener urban environments. 🌱🌻 Here's a snippet of our urban greening work👉 nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl…

As we approach the end of our research journey, we're reflecting on our impact – beginning with our air quality projects. We sought to better understand the major sources of air pollution and identified effective ways to detect and manage air pollution 👉 nespurban.edu.au/wp-content/upl…

This week marks two years since Frog Fest at The Living Pavilion – a family-friendly event @UniMelb. Our Hub Leader @urbanfrogger looks back at this ribbiting event. kirstenparris.com/2021/05/02/fro… @climarteaus @cathyoke @TheLivingStage

Great article on fragranced products & indoor air quality, featuring work by Anne Steinemann & colleagues @CAULHub domain.com.au/living/are-sce…

Street verges converted to native #gardens play a key role attracting native bees & hoverflies. @CAULHub research also found benefits for households include increased cooling, privacy, connection to nature & social interaction: bit.ly/3vSVgAk @uniwa 📷 Natasha Paul

Not every household has a garden but each one has a street verge. Find out why a growing number of gardeners see these spaces as blank canvases ready to be transformed. 🌱🏡 ecovoice.com.au/how-native-doe…

It’s #WorldFrogDay and researchers need your help to crack a ribbeting mystery. 🐸 WA's motorbike frog is thriving compared to its eastern-states cousins. By recording observations of frogs in our Urban Wildlife App you can help researchers find out why: nespurban.edu.au/platforms/caul…

On #IWD2021, we celebrate @CAULHub's women: from our early-career researchers helping us to understand many aspects of cities, our Leader @urbanfrogger who has been key in shaping our mission, to the fabulous women of our IAG and Steering Committee for guiding us on the journey.

Did you miss the panel discussion, ‘Creating sustainable, liveable cities for people and wildlife’ at #VicBioCon21? Here’s your chance to catch up on the engaging discussion, featuring CAUL’s @HurleyJoe, @sbekessy and @SuperSculptress. youtube.com/watch?v=dnQw9D…

How do we overcome the often shallow use of the word #sustainability and genuinely create meaningful outcomes for #biodiversity in urban spaces? @sbekessy argues that we simply haven't caught up with how valuable #nature actually is & often view nature as a problem

Thank you @HurleyJoe for starting the panel off with the thought-provoking question of what 'sustainability' and 'liveable' actual mean in the context of urban areas. Dr Herman re-frames the question by discussing what 'liveable' means outside of the human context #VicBioCon21

Gearing up for #VicBioCon21 's 2nd panel about sustainable cities for people and wildlife 💚 We'll be hearing today from Prof. Sarah Bekessy @sbekessy of @RMIT , Dr Kerryn Herman of @BirdlifeOz , Martin Hartigan of City West Water, & Kirstine Wallis of Indigenous Advisory Group,
