As biodiversity loss accelerates globally, individuals can significantly contribute to ecological recovery by transforming their private gardens into wildlife habitats. This initiative, supported by educational resources and a public literacy campaign, offers practical steps to make urban spaces safe and biodiverse for local wildlife.

• Thousands of species are in danger of disappearing in Canada alone, highlighting the urgency of this initiative.
• The project is a collaboration between the National Environmental Treasure, Toronto Metropolitan University’s Ecological Design Lab, Nature Canada, and FLAP Canada.
• The campaign emphasizes five easy and impactful ways to boost garden biodiversity: using alternatives to pesticides, leaving fallen leaves, prioritizing pollinator-attractive plants like native species, making gardens safe for birds, and advocating for biodiversity-supportive municipal bylaws.
