Intrinsically Linked: Why Climate-Smart Agriculture Must Not Neglect Biodiversity
A monarch butterfly drinks nectar from a purple coneflower in the middle of a field of wildflowers. The monarch is orange-brown with black markings. The coneflowers have a reddish-brown raised dome in the center that is surrounded by drooping purple petals. The other flowers in the meadow are yellow and pink, and beyond is wall of green trees that forms the edge of a woodland.
For Wildlife and Humans, Native Plants Are a Key to Climate Resilience
Santa Fe Extension Master Gardeners and the habitat kits they are about plant at the Santa Fe County Extension Office Demonstration Gardens. The eighteen species in the kits are native, climate-resilient species which will support a diversity of native pollinators across seasons. (Photo: Kaitlin Haase / Xerces Society)

A front garden in which flowers have been planted. Small circles of recently dug soil surround each small, green plant. The garden is edged by a wooden fence made of two horizontal rails and widely spaced posts. In the foreground, attached to the fence is a sign. The sign is green, with colorful flowers and an orange butterfly and brown lettering that says “pollinator habitat”.

An underwater photo showing the bottom of a river and above it in the hazy water small brown fish. The river bottom is made of dark, rounded rocks, some large, some small, surrounded by pale brown sand. In the sand can be seen dozens of freshwater mussels. The mussels are oval shaped and very dark, almost black. The two halves of their shells are slightly open, showing the paler, soft flesh of the animal.
