Strategies and tactics that support this principle document and value the benefits to the city derived from protected and restored wild nature. A WILD City will thus: a. Map remaining wild nature in the city and the greater ecoregion of which the city is a part b. Measure and promote community assets gained from fresh air, clean water, open spaces, biodiversity, carbon absorption and flooding/drought mitigation c. Specify human health (physical, emotional) and quality of life benefits from access to and protection of wild nature d. Demonstrate long-term savings through preventive actions that protect nature instead of destroying it then attempting to recreate its services (e.g. filtering of water)
