Preserving biodiversity in the city

Marina Bragante, Ricardo Cardim, Adriana Afonso Sandre, Oscar Bressane and Leandro Fontana

The panel proposes a dialogue on projects that point the way to preserving sociobiodiversity in cities. Examples involving the integration of local communities and landscapes, the promotion of sustainable production chains, and the development of nature-based solutions will be presented and discussed. The debate will also address initiatives that expand green spaces, create wildlife-friendly landscapes, and raise collective awareness about the importance of environmental conservation. This discussion connects directly to one of the Biennial's central themes: Preserving forests and reforesting cities, radically incorporating biodiversity as a way to reverse global warming.

Discussants:
Marina Bragante – Councilwoman of São Paulo – Sustainability Network
Ricardo Cardim – Landscaper, botanist and director of Cardim Landscape Architecture
Adriana Afonso Sandre – Landscape architect, biologist, professor at FAUUSP and researcher at FAPESP
Oscar Bressane – Landscape architect and director of Oscar Bressane Arquitetura e Paisagismo

Mediation:
Leandro Fontana – Landscape Architect and Director of the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
