New Perspectives in Science Education

Urban biodiversity, one of the essential conditions for human well-being, is becoming a recognized objective both within the academic community and among the general public. The support for urban biodiversity is provided by various ecological niches, ranging from green walls and roofs to urban gardens, squares, and street alignments.This paper proposes an interdisciplinary educational tool designed to provide information on the importance and support of biodiversity in urban spaces, while also advising the interested public on how to create ecological niches, considering urban constraints such as limited space, exposure, and permeability. As a learning tool, the platform has two primary educational objectives:1. to educate the general public and foster conservation-oriented attitudes, with the goal of biodiversity; 2. to educate students by involving them in populating the platform with data and participating in the interactions created through the platform. The effectiveness of this educational tool is evaluated based on the number of views and interactions, as well as at the urban level, through the increase in spaces that are conducive to biodiversity.
