Utrecht University
The Ecology & Biodiversity group at Utrecht University explores how nature thrives, adapts and helps us out, from tiny urban microclimates to vast landscapes. In this project, we bring our passion and expertise in environmental monitoring to measure how nature-based solutions can make cities greener, healthier, and more resilient.
