CONT

The introduction of green surfaces on the building envelope follows completely [the] principle [of reconciliation ecology], creating habitats, although of reduced dimensions, on the same land used by humans as living space. These green islands can help in protecting wildlife and increasing wildlife diversity, both creating their own island habitats and working as "stepping stone" habitat in order to connect natural isolated areas. In the case of a green extensive roof, the substrate can be left to spontaneous colonization by plants and animals(brown roof), with a benefit for the variety of native species.
