San Diego: the port supports efforts to protect an endangered bird species
The port of San Diego(California, USA) is continuing to provide financial support for the protection of an endangered species of bird (Rallus obsoletus levipes). It has pledged to donate $180,000 over the next five years to the Living Coast Discovery Center, a not-for-profit zoo and aquarium. Studies of California’s marshes show that in 1980 and 1985, the species’ population fell to just 142 reproducing pairs. In 2016, partly thanks to captive breeding programmes, numbers peaked at 656 reproducing pairs. This commitment echoes a similar effort by the port of Quebec presented by its CEO, Mario Girard, at the Solution Hub held in Tangier on “New tools for protecting biodiversity in port cities”.
The White Paper on biodiversity protection is online!
In this white paper dedicated to the 10th objective of the AIVP Agenda 2030 "Protecting biodiversity", we highlight concrete solutions put in place by our members enabling the restoration and protection of terrestrial or aquatic biodiversity in cities and port regions. These initiatives show that, even if there is no miracle solution to preserve and restore the biodiversity of port cities, stakeholders in the industry are mobilising to tackle the problems. The AIVP is proud to highlight these fine initiatives on the occasion of the International Day of Biological Diversity which took place on this 22nd of May. We wish you a fruitful reading!

At the next POPSU Métropoles symposium, the Port of Strasbourg and the city’s Metropolitan Authority will meet on 7 June to discuss their roles in the “metropolisation” process. Against the backdrop of the climate emergency and globalisation, the port and city have changed the way they see themselves. At the symposium, POPSU will bring together experts and spatial planning specialists to present the findings of the research conducted over the last three years, including those of the Atlas of the port and river metropolitan area.
