1GRANT PROPOSALA. Administrative Summary: A 1. Proposal Working Title: Relation existing between Green Walls and insect’s biodiversity A4. Proposal Summary: While green walls and roofs are commonly found in the urban settings, and have alwaysbeen appreciated for the hydrologic and energy saving benefits they offer, it is a lessacknowledged fact that green walls actively contribute to the conservation of plant as well asanimal biodiversity. Since the benefits of green roofs in supporting the generalist speciesespecially insects is poorly documented, this project aims to discover the relation existingbetween green walls and insects biodiversity. A5. Impact Statement: 75 words A 5. Impact Summary: Urban biodiversity is almost non-existent in today’s world, and yet the creation of greeninfrastructure can help in conserving nine thousand insects, such as Hemiptera, Coleopteran andDiptera. The abundance and richness of the species of insects requires to be highly maintained,and yet it becomes challenging in a polluted, urbanized set-up. In such a situation, the researchproject will help in enlightening ways the incorporation of vegetative technologies and vegetatedfacades in the urban planning of Sydney can help in maximizing biodiversity gains, bysupporting generalist species, especially insects.

C. Project Description:Project Title: Relation existing between Green Walls and insects’ biodiversity Project Aims:The concept of urban biodiversity has emerged to be an important concept that seeks to conservethe loss of specialist and any other kind of species that is sensitive to urbanization. This isexactly the reason behind the increasing popularity of the green walls in and around the cities. Infact, Sydney in Australia alone boasts of a large number of moss walls and vertical gardens.However, while the green walls have been widely appreciated for their aesthetic as well as
