Home gardens, Urban biodiversity, Urban ecologyAbstract
The massive and global growth of cities has become one of the most important socio-environmental challenges of the 21st century. Therefore, a more proactive approach is needed in the search for alternatives for biological conservation. This article analyzes the importance of urban domestic gardens as strategic areas for biological conservation. Urban domestic gardens are defined as private spaces adjacent to dwellings, and may contain, in varying degrees, lawns, polygons with ornamental and food vegetation and water sources. It is common that plant species that have experienced a severe decline in their wild habitats, achieve high productivity or densities in urban gardens. These spaces have an enormous capacity for the support of the biodiversity although it is current in them a predominance of exotic vegetal species.
