人类对环境的影响正以前所未有的速度导致生物多样性的退化，特别是大量人口聚居的城市区域，面临着抵御生物多样性丧失的巨大挑战。如何将人类发展与生物多样性保护相结合是可持续发展需要解决的关键问题。聚焦这一全球共同面临的挑战，环太平洋大学联盟（Association of Pacific Rim Universities,简称APRU）的生物多样性项目（APRU Biodiversity Program）、可持续城市与景观项目（APRU Sustainable Cities and Landscapes Program)，将与香港中文大学、上海交通大学、悉尼大学联合举办系列研讨会，邀请从事科研、实践、教育的专家，与对此议题感兴趣的师生及其他各界人士，分享基于生态系统保护实现城市可持续发展的洞见。

城市生物多样性战略、框架和指标：一项回顾
Jennifer Rae Pierce是一位政治生态学家、城市规划师和城市生物多样性政策专家，拥有 18 年的城市与自然研究经验。她是城市生物多样性枢纽 (UBHub) 的共同创始人，该枢纽拥有全球最大的城市生物多样性活动数据库，发表有关地方实践和生物多样性全球目标的研究报告，以及为地方政府追踪相关指标及发展提供支持。她提供地方性管理工具和报告，包括为环境倡议理事会（ICLEI）提供生物多样性和生态系统服务核心工具包、为世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）提供城市自然指数，以及为城市的自然（Cities for Nature） 提供科学性的发展目标。她发表的研究包括对全球数百个城市的比较研究，以及对一些在泰国、印度、日本、新加坡、以色列、加拿大、美国、巴西和南非等地城市的深度解读。她拥有康奈尔大学城市规划学硕士学位和欧洲中央大学环境科学与政策学硕士学位。目前，她正在攻读加拿大英属哥伦比亚大学的博士学位，研究方向为城市生物多样性的世界观与公平性。
APRU
Biodiversity for Sustainable Cities
Webinar Series 2024
Human impact on the environment is now causing the crisis of biodiversity loss at unprecedented rates, especially for places like cities, which are the most populated settlements in the world and face great challenges in resisting biodiversity loss. How to allow human development and biodiversity conservation to work together for sustainable development is a key issue that needs to be resolved. In light of addressing this global challenge, the APRU Biodiversity Program and Sustainable Cities & Landscapes Program are jointly organizing a webinar series in partnership with The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and The University of Sydney for researchers, practitioners, educators, students, and other stakeholders to share insights into ecosystem protection for urban sustainability.

Gail Langellotto
Professor of Horticulture / Department of Plant Science / Oregon State University
Cultivating Biodiversity in Small Spaces: Plants, People, and Practices
Gail Langellotto is a Professor of Horticulture at Oregon State University (OSU), where she also leads the OSU Garden Ecology Lab. Together with her students, she studies garden soils, microbes, insects, and plants, to promote sustainable garden designs and management practices. Her interdisciplinary research spans the fields of entomology, horticulture, urban ecology, conservation biology, and social science, and is conducted in close collaboration with gardeners, landscapers, designers, and nursery plant producers. Prior to joining OSU, she was an Assistant Professor at Fordham University in New York City, and completed a post-doctoral research assistantship at the University of California, Davis. She holds a B.S. in biology, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in entomology, all from the University of Maryland.

Biodiversity-Positive Design: Empirical Evidence and Case Studies
Dr. Sohyun Park is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Connecticut (UConn). Before joining UConn, she worked in the Department of Landscape Architecture at Texas Tech University. She also held positions as a Research Director and Research Fellow in the public and private sectors. Dr. Park earned her Ph.D. degree in Environmental Design and Planning from Arizona State University, a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture, and a B.S. in Biology from Korea. She is also a certified SITES Accredited Professional. Dr. Park’s scholarly pursuits revolve around the intricate interplay between natural and human systems, with a particular focus on sustainability and the health of ecosystems and communities. Her research aims to advance understanding of how urban morphology, functions, and changes influence ecosystem services and their interactions with human well-being. A central aspect of her current research critically examines biodiversity-positive design, seeking design solutions to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis at various scales.
