Thủ Thiêm New Urban Area Biodiversity, Roads & canals disrupting…

- - - - Native species
        
        Urban fauna: birds, bats, aquatic macroinvertebrates
        
        Riparian species along the Saigon River
      - Introduced species
        
        Invasive species (water hyacinth)
        
        Ornamental plants
    - - Urban-adapted plant cultivars (e.g., native vs. exotic palms)
    - - Wetlands and small mangrove patches
      - Urban parks and green corridors
      - Constructed ponds and drainage canals
    - - Pollinators (bees, butterflies)
      - Decomposers (soil microbes)
  - - - Reduces flood flood peaks during monsoon season
    - - Mangrove root systems stabilize banks and reduce turbidity
      - engineered wetland strips treat up to 80% of the local runnoff
    - - Green facades reduce facade temperatures by 8°C
    - - Amphibian-friendly ponds monitored as water-quality indicators
      - Habitat shelves beneath river walls for fish
  - - - Frogs/amphibians
        
        Signal water quality and habitat health
      - Birds
        
        Reflect ecosystem balance
    - - Mangroves
        
        prevent erosion, support aquatic life
      - Pollinators
        
        essential for urban gardens
    - - Generalists: Pigeons, rats (thrive in urban areas)
      - Specialists: Mangrove-dependent crabs (threatened by habitat loss)
- - - - Green roofs & vertical garden
        
        Support pollinators (bees, butterflies)
        
        Reduce urban heat
      - Urban parks & green spaces
        
        Design parks with native plants (mangroves, lotus ponds)
        
        Provide habitats for birds and amphibians.
      - Permeable pavements
        
        Runoff
        
        Benefiting soil organisms
        
        Groundwater recharge
  - - - Workshops
        
        Teach residents about composting, native gardening, and reducing pesticide use
      - Signage
        
        Install educational boards in parks explaining local biodiversity
    - - Clean-up along riverbanks
      - create programs to care about street trees
  - - - Urban Biodiversity Hotspots
        
        Legally safeguard remaining wetlands and green spaces from development.
      - Buffer Zones
        
        Mandate no-construction areas around critical habitats
    - - Biodiversity Impact Assessments
      - Incentives for Green Buildings
    - - Strict penalties for industrial waste dumping in waterways
      - Ban on single-use plastics in public spaces to reduce harm to wildlife
    - - Enforce bans on hunting/poaching of native species
      - Regulations to control invasive species
