• W2184558775 abstract "The premise of this conference is that ‘greening the city’ by enriching the indigenous biodiversity of the urban environment is an important normative goal. However, in order to successfully enact this, it is necessary to explore just what is the nature of this goal? Is it for fundamentally environmental or ecological reasons we might pursue it or are we after something else? It would be hard to argue that there are many instances where the conservation of unique ecological systems rests on the opportunities presented to us in an urban environment. In fact it is more likely to be the opposite. Ecological restoration in an urban setting generally refers to the restoration of systems and species once present or even abundant — into environments fraught with challenges for them. This could surely be better achieved in an environment without the multifarious competing interests of urban living. In this paper we suggest that the goal of bringing biodiversity back into the urban environment is multifaceted, and as much about social objectives as it is about achieving environmental ends. It may be based on a changing cultural identity, which calls for greater representation in our landscapes of the iconic symbols of indigenous New Zealand. It may be for reasons of ‘holism’ — a desire to see greater integration of human and non-human ecological systems. It may also be for the potential for enhancing a kind of ‘nature stewardship’ ethic in society to which greater interaction between people and ‘nature’ might lead. If these are indeed at the root of the goal to bring biodiversity back into urban environments, this has significant implications for both our interpretation of what constitutes ‘biodiversity’ in the urban environment and the social processes by which we enact any landscape transformations. In this paper we present what we consider to be some of the important ingredients of a framework for biodiversity restoration in urban environments that takes cognizance of the essentially social nature of this goal. We begin by exploring what the goals of restoration in an urban environment might be. We pay particular attention to how we might work with existing community values about nature and the environment, and how to facilitate change that results in the kind of positive associations with natural biodiversity that we hope for. Finally, we present some findings from a study of attitudes in Christchurch City with a view to considering how best the common issues, values and concerns raised by members of an urban community might be brought into consideration in a biodiversity restoration project." @default.
