Campus biodiversity
The Landscape Management Division of USJ is responsible for taking care of the campus grounds and consider the following aspects while improving and maintaining the campus green spaces:
- Rain gardens for rainwater harvesting
- Native plant forestry
- Germplasm conservation gardens
- Planting climate tolerant exotics, non- invasive species and aquatic flowering plants
- Irrigation system management
- Soil nutrient management programs
- Sustainable lighting, trash recycling and use of biopesticides
- Animal diversity conservation through phytodiversity conservation
When conducting replanting works the team gives a priority to native, indigenous and exotic non-invasive species which are resistant to adverse climate conditions such as heavy rainfall and strong winds in addition to having considerable ecological value and low maintenance.
