Por estar em uma região com dois biomas distintos (Cerrado e Mata Atlântica), Belo Horizonte apresenta um rico patrimônio de biodiversidade, que nos permite aprender sobre os processos desenvolvidos pelas várias espécies e entre elas, e sobre as funções ecossistêmicos existentes, como a polinização. Dessa forma, o nosso território se torna mais resiliente e capaz de se desenvolver sustentavelmente. É no sentido de preservar a provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos para o benefício de nossa comunidade que estamos trabalhando.
Being in a region with two distinct biomes (Cerrado and Atlantic Forest), Belo Horizonte presents a rich biodiversity heritage, allowing us to learn about the processes developed by and among the various species, and about ecosystem functions this diversity comprises, such as pollination. Hence, our territory becomes more resilient and capable of sustainable development. The work we´ve been developing is aimed at preserving the provision ecosystem services for the benefit of our community.

The Pampulha Modern Ensemble, listed nationally in 1997, was granted the title of World Heritage Site in 2016, and it was the first to be categorized as a Cultural Landscape of Modern Heritage Site. For UNESCO, it represents a masterpiece of human creative genius, conceived as a total work of art, integrating artistic pieces into buildings and these into the landscape. Formed by a landscape complying four buildings articulated around the water mirror from an artificial urban lake - the Church of São Francisco de Assis, the Pampulha Art Museum, the Casa do Baile and the Golf Club Yacht, all of them designed by the architect Oscar Niemeyer and built between 1942 and 1943. The set is complemented by tile panels created by Candido Portinari, sculptures by artists such as Alfredo Ceschiatti and José Alves Pedrosa, and gardens designed by landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx.
