This contributed volume addresses the global scale of urbanization and its impacts on biodiversity. By adding human capital, cities incubate new ideas and technologies, creating the conditions for socially and environmentally sensitive growth, but this is rarely seen. Urban ecology, an essential field that supports planning based on environmental perspectives, is a new science in tropical countries. This book discusses the inequity embedded in tropical cities, and explores how this inequity also materializes in biodiversity, with poor neighbourhoods of tropical cities lacking sufficient access to green space, and therefore less access to the benefits of nature, and poor support for biodiversity. With the current biodiversity crisis, the traditional approach to protecting pristine areas is insufficient. The chapters in this volume illustrate how tropical cities can act as spaces for biological conservation. Ecological literacy can help cities reconcile the needs of both people and of nature.
