Wild Cities

Cities also have wildlife, and there is more of it than we think. How do wild animals and plants get along with humans in a modern city?

In this book we visit various cities of Russia, meet the Baltic seal, tiger, mandarin duck, gray whale, karakurt spider and Lusitanian slug... We learn how urban ecosystems function, how green spaces help purify the air and make climate more comfortable, swamps purify water, and urban meadows save pollinating insects.
