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 comfort
able, swamps purify water, and urban
meadows save pollinating insects.
