Many cities fail the 3-30-300 benchmark for urban nature. The ‘3’ is often met and the ‘300’ is patchy due to poor tree canopy coverage. Cities need better planting conditions and governance to support tree growth @_ficus @TerrEcolGroup @geoconR @sbekessy nature.com/articles/s4146…

Overseas, the ‘3-30-300' city planning rule is increasingly seen as critical to human health and wellbeing.
But new research from @RMIT has found Sydney and Melbourne are failing when it comes to one key component - tree cover.

📢Our OA research shows informal green spaces (IGS) are an integral part of the #urbanNature landscape, contributing as much as formal green spaces to species richness!🌿 Using crowdsourced data we assessed how different #greenspace supports birds & plants link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@mb_dahlstrom you’ve nailed this article - such an important message about caring for nature in our scramble to build more houses @ICON_Science @Biodivcouncil @RMIT_CUR
Michael Dahlstrom@mb_dahlstrom
Melbourne has a bold new suite of housing reforms, and while they appear to have been created with good intentions, a leading urban planning expert has spotted a "big" omission. “None of them are actually good for nature." - @sbekessy au.news.yahoo.com/big-error-disc…

Businesses need to jump into nature reporting - yes, it's complex, but there are simple approaches and datasets available so there's no excuse (& the planet can't wait) @Biodivcouncil @ICON_Science @RMIT_CUR @BrenWintle @EconOConnor

📢 Our new OA research shows spatially targeting new green spaces to connect bigger patches of habitat can maximise investment for #urbanbiodiversity

Great to see some movement with NSW's nature laws, but does this really go far enough when it comes to habitat destruction?
Biodiversity Council@Biodivcouncil
NSW biodiversity conservation laws are getting an overhaul. New commitments by @PennySharpemlc @ChrisMinnsMP address many major issues enabling ongoing nature loss in NSW, such as the biodiversity offsets scheme - but there are still significant gaps, such as inadequate action to address land clearing.
