Description
Wild City: A deeply evocative exploration of Britain's urban wildlife reveals the often-overlooked residents living alongside us. Florence Wilkinson invites readers to celebrate the natural world and proposes a compelling manifesto for city wildlife, suggesting ways to protect these inhabitants as cities grow and sprawl. Through her journey, Wilkinson shares fascinating encounters with urban species, from badgers in Brighton to bats in the Black Country, and mosquitoes found only on the London Underground. She highlights how nature is adapting to human-engineered environments in unexpected and ingenious ways. This beautifully written book offers a clear-eyed glimpse into the challenges faced by urban plants and animals, while also inspiring hope for a brighter future where humans and wildlife can coexist.
