Description
Have you ever wondered how far rats scurrying out of dumpsters might travel in the city, or how many bird species are in your local park? What about the ways that plants can fight climate change in cities? From bats to bees and mircroplastics to trees, this book will introduce you to urban ecologists who answer questions like these ones.
At the end of each chapter, you find a simple activity, called urban ecology challenge. These challenges help explore wildlife and biodiversity in cities or communities.
