INTO THE WILD
AND BACK AGAIN
At the Biodiversity Is Life Initiative (BILI), we believe that every patch of earth holds the power to heal. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, our mission is to reconnect fragmented ecosystems and transform urban spaces into thriving habitats for native plants and wildlife. Through local innovative programs, public education, and powerful collaborations, we are creating a model for urban conservation that can be replicated across Texas and beyond—one plant, one yard—at a time.
Conservation Through Native Planting
Modern landscapes are often dominated by non-native species that offer little ecological value. BILI is working to reverse this trend by providing native plants free of charge and educating the public on their critical role in sustaining biodiversity. Through our conservation efforts, we aim to create corridors for pollinators and wildlife, restoring natural ecosystems even in urban settings.
Seed Distribution
& Community Engagement
To make native gardening more accessible, BILI distributes regionally appropriate seeds and plants, ensuring that communities can easily participate in ecological restoration. Our outreach efforts include partnerships with schools, local organizations, and homeowners who want to take part in bringing nature back to their neighborhoods. Small actions, like planting a few native species, can collectively make a monumental impact on our environment.
The Future of Land Restoration
Beyond native plant education, we envision large-scale habitat rehabilitation projects that will serve as models for conservation across Texas and beyond. By fostering a movement where every backyard becomes an island of biodiversity, we are working toward a future where nature and urban life can coexist harmoniously.
