What is London in the Wild : Exploring Nature in the City about?

You dont have to go to the countryside to experience nature; Londons wild spaces and wildlife are much more diverse than we think London is usually thought of as a place of cars, concrete, lights, noise and pollution, a harsh, unyielding landscape created to accommodate mankind, not wildlife. We rush through the city, focused on our destination, wrapped up in our thoughts, but if you take the time to stop and look youll discover that London is teeming with wildlife ready to be discovered and enjoyed. More than 15,000 species of flora, fungi and fauna have been recorded within Greater London. In 2019, for example, there were 139 seal pups born in the Thames, and Croydon is one of the richest areas for butterflies in the UK. London in the Wild will encourage you to explore the city from your garden, local parks and community spaces to Londons eclectic wildlife habitats, including wetlands, woodlands and heaths. Youll discover the secrets of the German Hairy Snail, the day-to-day life of a London tube mouse and the activities of seahorses living in the Thames.
