Learning intentions
Students will:
- investigate the loss of biodiversity in cities and appreciate the role of cities in addressing the biodiversity extinction crisis
- explore examples of revegetation/urban landscaping projects that incorporate biodiversity and First Nations values in cities
- investigate how incorporating First Nations knowledge, perspectives, and culturally significant species can also give these plantings cultural value.
Success criteria
Students can:
- describe how green spaces improve urban environments and can enrich biodiversity and have cultural value
- propose a local revegetation project using native plant species that would reduce urban heat, enrich biodiversity and incorporate culturally significant plants.
