GI & Ecosystem Services
Green infrastructure (GI) covers all-natural, semi-natural, and built green areas on Earth, thus providing all ecosystem services (ES) to each living entity around the Globe.
These smaller and bigger patches of green areas are fragmented by the built environment (i.e., grey infrastructure) created by humans, threatening continuity and assets, and decreasing the value of services provided by nature.
Green Infrastructure development has two main aims: firstly, protecting the already existing green area and, at the very least, preserving it on the actual level; secondly, harmonizing human needs to the first aim while preserving our natural environment and its ecosystem services as intact as possible for next generations.
