Wild City (available on audio for blind readers) is a book that takes us on a fascinating journey into why we should learn to appreciate our fellow urban species, from the badgers of central Brighton to tunnel-dwelling Black Country bats.
And even insects on the London Underground that are found nowhere else on earth.
The author shares what we might see (if we only take time to look). And how nature is adapting to human-engineered environments in unexpected and clever ways.
This a lyrical book that invites us to celebrate the natural world that surrounds us. And offers a clear glimpse into the challenges that our fellow species face (both animals and plants) as cities turn to urban sprawl.
The author then offers a compelling manifesto for city wildlife, suggesting how we may take action to protect the often over-looked residents that live alongside us.
