All designs should take the needs of non-humans into account. For example, the Superb fairy-wren may not inhabit an artificial tree or artificial hollow if it is not surrounded by dense vegetation. An intervention needs to be sited strategically to be effective.
Attachments
Attach artificial habitats to existing structures:
- Bee hotels to building walls
- Artificial hollows to columns, trees, and power poles
- Bioreceptive surfaces to building walls and infrastructure
New habitats
Design novel habitat analogues that can provide new habitats:
- Artificial trees that integrate artificial hollows
- Walls, columns, and infrastructure with bioreceptive surfaces
Connectivity
Design connections that link new habitats, existing habitats, and proposed habitats:
- Attach wild-life bridges or animal underpasses to infrastructure, columns, power poles, and buildings
Integrations
Integrate the above solutions with:
- Sensors that gather more-than-human data
- Eco-street lighting
- Planting and vegetation strategies
