Our purpose is to create systemic change to protect and increase biodiversity in our communities for more livable cities. We organize for BIODIVERSITY through discussion and community action in Metro North Boston and beyond!  Formed in 2023, The Urban Biodiversity Alliance [TUBA] organizes for biodiversity with a social ecology lens and a collaborative community organizing approach; we work to create a narrative that will increase support for biodiversity, climate and conservation on the local level. We are a network of students and learners and maintain a culture of skill-sharing to foster community organizer leadership development. TUBA aims to be a hub for resources and change. We make science accessible by connecting people of all ages to nature, academics to community-based learning, and offer affordable easy to access workshops. We believe in cross pollinating! Through community partnerships, we amplify and elevate biodiversity efforts for more livable cities; we do this is by co-producing a majority of our events and highlighting the achievements and specializations of our peer organizations. In collaborating with other groups we build alliances that manifest in on-going coalition work. We operate hands on in the Metro North area of Greater Boston but also share individual and organizational allies across the U.S. and are followed internationally through social media.
