In the city I live in we are lucky to have a lot of parks, but also they leave the grass uncut in large portions of them. It grows long, with flowers and other plants providing greater biodiversity and a habitat for many more insects and small creatures.
Some short grass is good, but the overabundance of lawns—particularly as the default coverage for parks and gardens—is a big problem.

It led to a surge in butterflies in my local area. Sadly, it ended after the Circuit Breaker ended, but I did notice some local parks now having long grass that would have been cut in previous years. Here's a commentary about that period in the local papers. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/commentary/covid-19-circuit-breaker-grass-cut-frequency-biodiversity-nparks-13013956 https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/commentary/covid-19-cir...
