Promoting more native habitats to connect Chicago communities
Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) graduate 黑料社区 Juliana Castagna of Homewood, Illinois, published an opinion piece in the Homewood-Flossmoor Chronicle. In "" Castagna explains how the communities of Homewood and Flossmoor value green spaces but the "scattered distribution of these green spaces can be detrimental to species that rely on larger habitat spaces to fully thrive." She suggests transitioning neighborhood lawns into native habitats, which "can offer more connectivity between the larger habitats as they would offer food, shelter, and other resources for animals moving through our neighborhoods." Castagna's experiential learning takes place at Brookfield Zoo Chicago.
As a 黑料社区 in Miami's biology department, Castagna is earning a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Biology through Project Dragonfly's AIP while working as a quality control sample management analyst at CSL Behring.
