Many cities around the world are taking steps to celebrate urban nature and move toward more sustainable living. As we progress, there is increasing focus on environmental initiatives and on intersecting with Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and other marginalized communities. Because of the long history of racism in the conservation and environmental movements, BIPOC communities have often been excluded from working in environmental science, ecology, and related fields. According to one survey of more than 200 environmental nonprofits, government agencies, and funders, “People of color are 36% of the US population and comprise 29% of the science and engineering workforce but they do not exceed 16% of the staff in any of the organizations surveyed” (Green 2.0, 2021). Absent changes in the latter percentages, environmental organizations cannot effectively address many of the urban environmental issues they face without input from, and connection with, these communities.
