Alysha and Todd are joined by Kyle McKay (USACE Research Civil Engineer) and Charles van Rees (Conservation Scientist at UGA) to discuss BIODIVERSITY- and spoiler alert, it's a lot bigger than bugs and bunnies.
Biodiversity is an ecological concept that can be difficult to quantify but is critical for environmental stability. It's also something that engineers working on nature-based projects have to keep in mind for the creation and restoration of natural infrastructure systems.
Kyle's Haiku:
Built or natural?
Intergenerational
Legacy is key.
Charles's Haiku:
Safe homes and good health,
Butterfly, thistle, finch, fox.
Choose both: it's all life.
Todd's Haiku:
All species on Earth
Comprise the planet's machine
Pluck, pull, push, kaput
Resources:
Jointly advancing infrastructure and biodiversity conservation
The potential for nature-based solutions to combat the freshwater biodiversity crisis
