Green-Blue network and the value of nature on Belo Horizonte

In Belo Horizonte, through the implementation of the Green-Blue Network, the region aims to connect existing conservation areas to nearby regions with potential for regeneration through agro-ecological practices, agroforestry systems and rain gardens. This will be done while engaging with local communities on the process of environmental reconstruction, aim that was endorsed by the Ecosystem Service map developed as part of INTERACT-Bio’s activities on the territory. This assessment provided decision makers with a clear and accessible tool to drive urban planning and assure integration of nature as part of the city.
