Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms that exist on Earth, encompassing the immense range of plants, animals, microorganisms, genes, and ecosystems. It represents the total wealth of species diversity, genetic variation, and ecological processes that sustain the functioning of the biosphere. At its core, biodiversity highlights the interconnectedness of living systems, where every organism contributes in some way to ecological balance. The forests, rivers, oceans, grasslands, deserts, and wetlands all contain countless species that interact and depend on one another, creating networks of ecological stability. Biodiversity is not limited to the visible richness of species but also includes genetic diversity within populations and the ecosystem diversity that arises from different habitats across regions. This diversity ensures the resilience of natural systems against environmental changes, diseases, and human pressures. In essence, biodiversity is the foundation of life, vital for ecological integrity, cultural traditions, food security, climate regulation, and overall human well-being. In the contemporary world, biodiversity faces unprecedented threats from human activities. Rapid industrialization, urban expansion, deforestation, pollution, overexploitation of natural resources, and climate change have resulted in large-scale habitat destruction and the decline of species. Cities in particular have grown as centers of population density and economic activity, often exerting pressure on surrounding natural landscapes. However, within this tension lies an important area of ecological planning known as urban forestry. Urban forestry represents a vital strategy for harmonizing biodiversity conservation with the realities of urban development. Urban forestry can be understood as the planning, establishment, management, and conservation of trees and green spaces within cities and surrounding areas. It is not merely the planting of trees along streets but a comprehensive approach that integrates forests, parks, gardens, roadside plantations, green belts, institutional campuses, and riverfront vegetation into the fabric of urban ecosystems. The aim of urban forestry is to enhance environmental quality, improve public health, provide shade and recreational opportunities, mitigate the impacts of pollution, and contribute to biodiversity conservation even in densely built-up regions. This concept emerged strongly in the twentieth century as urban planners recognized the ecological and social benefits of greenery within city spaces. Urban forestry plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity within urban landscapes. Although cities are often considered areas of ecological decline, carefully designed green spaces can serve as
