UC study addresses the nexus of the housing crisis, climate change, and habitat loss
The UC Newsroom covered the Wildland Urban Interface Research for Resilience project a large-scale, interdisciplinary study to understand how lack of affordable housing in urban areas and increased pressure for housing beyond the city limits affects the growth of the wildland urban interface (WUI), where the fringes of development reach into natural areas.
The article quotes Miriam Greenberg, principal investigator for the Wildland Urban Interface Research for Resilience project, Rick Flores, Associate Director of the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum and Botanic Gardens, and Jared Childress, Central Coast Prescribed Burn Association (CCPBA) Program Manager, who shared insights on the study.
