Heatwaves are getting more frequent and intense because of human-caused warming. Urban areas are worse due to the heat island effect.

This study shows a ring of rural/wild land around a city can have a big impact on bringing urban temperatures down by more than 0.5C.

Until now the focus has been on greening within towns and cities, but we need to consider the surrounding land too.

My jam is agroecology, mainly the human aspects of farmland biodiversity conservation.

#SaveWildBees, the domesticated ones are livestock & doing just fine.
