TEACHING
Giardini Mileto plays a crucial role in the conservation of biodiversity, protecting threatened or endangered species, both in their natural habitats and in controlled environments. It is a scientific research center where plants, ecosystems, and their interactions are studied, contributing to botanical knowledge and the understanding of global flora. However, Giardini Mileto is not just an ornamental green space, but a vibrant hub of biodiversity: a living heritage to protect and enhance, and a refuge for wildlife and its new species.
Through its richness and plant diversity, it demonstrates the potential to attract a dynamic biodiversity capable of responding to future environmental challenges. For example, Mediterranean species, such as wild Olive, Mastic, Myrtle, and Holm oak, not only reflect the ecological identity of the territory but also constitute fundamental habitats, providing food resources and, above all, safe shelters and nesting sites for numerous animal species, including birds, pollinating insects, small mammals, and reptiles.At the same time, the presence of tropical species enriches ecological variety, creating microenvironments that favor the emergence and adaptation of new animal species, attracted by the availability of resources and the diversity of habitats.
The garden offers educational programs, workshops, and teaching materials for schools and the general public, promoting knowledge of plants and the environment and allowing the learning of their evolutionary path, the association of each species with others, and the balance of the ecosystem, also through initiatives that include learning through play, team competitions, planting and transplanting of plants under expert supervision, and recreational moments in walkable green areas.
