BioD City, BioD Campus....

Singapore now try to be a BioDiversity City. They set the Index for BioD city. May be we can follow their ways for our city, town, campus or may be our forest (because we do not keep our biodiversity even in our megabiodiversity forest).The Index measures "Biodiversity in the City" including factors such as: % of natural/semi-natural areas, diversity of ecosystems, measures of fragementation of ecosystems, number of native species, proportion of native species (as opposed to invasive alien species), % of protected areas (as "protected areas indicate the government’s commitment to biodiversity conservation").

The Index also considers "Ecosystem Services provided by the Native Biodiversity in the City" such as Freshwater Services, Carbon Sequestration, Recreation and educational services, and Other Environmental Services such as air pollution reduction, cooling effect, erosion control, coastal protection

The Index also looks at "Governance and Management of Biodiversity in the City" including:

Biodiversity Programmes and/or Projects such as species recovery, biodiversity surveys, biodiversity enhancement projects;
Rules, Regulations & Policy in particular, the creation of National Strategy and Action Plans (Singapore has one!);
Institutional Capacity (e.g., biodiversity centre, herbarium, zoological museum, botanical garden, zoo, insectarium, etc.) with an evaluation of inter-agencycoordination.
Currently, seven cities (Curitiba, Joondalup, Edmonton, Brussels, Montreal, Nagoya and Singapore) have are testing the draft Singapore Index on Cities' Biodiversity by evaluating the availability of data.
