Making cities greener and more livable can unintentionally create perfect conditions for mosquitoes, the deadliest animals on earth. As climate change pushes us to plant more trees and conserve water, features like rainwater tanks and wetlands can become mosquito breeding grounds. Each year, half a million people die from mosquito-borne diseases, while millions more endure illness and nuisance bites. Designing and maintaining healthy urban ecosystems is crucial to avoid new outbreaks and keep public spaces enjoyable.
