We often see animals and plants as victims of climate change. Interestingly, research shows that some species can help us fight back and soothe many of the effects of global warming. They can help us prevent our cities from becoming urban heat islands, the zones of higher temperatures that cities have become due to materials used in construction and other consequences of our modern lifestyle. To give visibility to this problem, and with the occasion of the 25th International Day for Biological Diversity, the Bern Convention presents “Not alone”, a creative campaign to raise awareness among the public about how biodiversity can help us diminish the effects of urban heat islands.

For more than 30 years, the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention) has been providing assistance, surveillance and innovation to develop strong political actions for the conservation of Europe's natural heritage, involving not only governments but also citizens and NGOs.
