Wildlife Friendly Gardens Living sustainably means living within critical limits and one of those is doing little damage to the local ecosystems – to the local indigenous fauna and flora – for biodiversity and ecological reasons. Many of our native birds and animals, including rare and endangered species, are to be found on privately owned land - and they rely on this land for their food, shelter and survival. So what you do as a householder can affect the wildlife and plants in your area – and whether our native birds and animals survive can be up to you. No matter how small or urban an area, your garden can help by acting as a part of a green corridor for the wildlife, and provide a refuge for some of our native plants and wildlife.
