Article Synopsis
- Urban areas are rapidly expanding, negatively affecting biodiversity, especially insect pollinators.
- The study examines how urban botanical gardens in arid regions could act as refuges for these pollinators by providing reliable water sources.
- Results show that butterfly diversity and richness are significantly higher in botanical gardens compared to the surrounding urban areas, suggesting they play a crucial role in conserving pollinators amid climate change.
