Microhabitats in Managed Landscapes | White Paper Sponsored by OPG
Designing Pollinator, Forest, and Wetland Habitats on a Micro-Scale
Sponsored by Ontario Power Generation
The world is urbanizing at an unprecedented pace. Today, more than half of the global population lives in cities, and by 2050, nearly 70 percent of people are expected to reside in dense urban environments. As development continues to replace natural landscapes with gray infrastructure, ecological connectivity is increasingly fragmented, placing growing pressure on biodiversity, ecosystem resilience, and human well-being.
This white paper examines how companies are integrating microhabitats into urban and industrial landscapes. Through case studies focusing on microforests, pollinator habitats, and wetland habitats, it highlights how small-scale restoration projects can produce measurable ecological and social benefits, demonstrating that even modest interventions, when thoughtfully designed and implemented, can significantly support biodiversity.
