                    Screenshot 2025-07-22 175733

                    As cities have grown and populations have become more concentrated, the need to integrate nature into urban environments has become increasingly evident. In Barcelona, this vision has taken shape thanks, among others, to research in urban ecology initiated by CREAF in the 1970s, which has evolved into current initiatives such as the Citizen Observatory of Urban Butterflies (uBMS).

                        War fuels the climate crisis. Beyond the devastating cost in human lives, conflict drives carbon emissions, destroys ecosystems, and spreads toxic pollution.
