Green Care Lab UC Davis

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) refer to actions that protect, sustainably manage and restore natural and modified ecosystems to address societal challenges, such as climate change, disaster risk reduction, and food and water security.

Green Care, on the other hand, is a specific approach that utilizes methods in nature-based solutions to promote human well-being and biodiversity benefits.

NbS can help us understand how to implement projects in the analysis of Green Care and the different factors we must consider to ensure its benefits.

Animal spotlight: Meet Mary! 🐴

Mary is a mother, friend, and lovely companion that the Green Care Lab rescued in the Fall of 2023. Our mini donkey Mary came to us after being saved from unfit living conditions in an animal boarding situation.

She has since made the Green Care Lab her home, along with her son Memphis. Addressing welfare necessitates confronting important issues in science, health, politics, and ethics.

Animal hoarding is a complex issue that severely affects animal welfare and shelter overcrowding. It's crucial that we work together to destigmatize this issue and promote understanding and possible interventions.
