N6tur3

One of Street Art for Mankind "Ecosystem Restoration" murals

This striking 30-meter-high piece, titled "N6tur3," is a pledge to protect local biodiversity and freshwater ecosystems in urban settings. It is the 10th mural in the global #Ecosystem Restoration Murals series to support the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration-a worldwide initiative to reverse nature loss and revive critical ecosystems.

Located in Richmond upon Thames -an area home to 500-year-old oak trees which more than France and Germany combined, with a long history of species conservation dating back to the time of Henry VIII, this mural poses a powerful question: What legacy will we all leave for future generations? A fusion of futurism and classical art, the mural envisions a harmonious world where cities and nature thrive together. At its heart, an anthropomorphic willow tree -a keystone species in the local ecosystem- stands surrounded by regional wildlife, emphasizing humanity's deep connection to nature. The transformation of London into a flowing river pays tribute to local waterways like the Thames and Crane, highlighting the urgent need to restore and protect river habitats increasingly threatened by human activity.
