Biodiversity

Biodiversity is an essential part of healthy, thriving environments on our campuses and in the communities we support. The University is committed to protecting, enhancing and expanding biodiversity through our research, teaching and operations.

By integrating biodiversity considerations into campus planning, land management and procurement practices, we seek to create positive outcomes for nature both on and beyond our campuses.

Nature Positive Pledge

In 2022, the University signed on as a founding member of the Nature Positive Universities Alliance, further reinforcing its commitment to preserving biodiversity and championing sustainability.

By taking the pledge, the University commits to:

  • Carry out baseline assessments
  • Set specific, time-limited and measurable targets
  • Take bold action to reduce biodiversity impacts, protect and restore species and ecosystems, while influencing others to do the same
  • Transparent annual reporting.
