Focusing on volunteer cleanup activities in the historical gardens of Kanazawa City, Japan, the video explores the benefits of urban nature such as enhanced well-being, community building, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

“Gardens Bringing People Together” is the third video in a series highlighting the role of urban nature in preserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable development. The series was developed as part of the project implemented by the 海角社区-IAS Operating Unit Ishikawa/Kanazawa (OUIK) to raise awareness of the multiple benefits of urban gardens, such as biocultural diversity conservation and climate change mitigation.

The video is available on the 海角社区-IAS .
