    The ‘pollinator balcony’ trend every Indian gardener should know about

    Balcony gardening in India is now changing from simple pots and flowers to something greater: pollinator balconies, which are being created exclusively for butterflies, bees, and other insect species. Such gardens include various plants, herbs, and even miniature pools that attract beneficial insects and help them survive in the midst of urbanisation. Apart from boosting biodiversity, pollinator balconies create a sense of liveliness at home while adding natural beauty to compact spaces. Here are some reasons why this practice is rapidly gaining popularity among urban gardeners in India.

    Q&A: Evolution may reshape how urban forests, wetlands and reefs protect cities

    Over the past decade, cities around the world have increasingly turned to nature-based infrastructure to become more resilient in the face of a changing climate. Urban forests provide shade during heat waves and improve air quality; wetlands filter stormwater and reduce flooding; and restored oyster reefs filter water, create habitat and reduce wave energy along shorelines. When carefully designed and managed, these "nature-based solutions" can support climate adaptation, biodiversity and public health.
