What is Cities Going Wild: To Save the Planet about?

Cities are not just made of roads, buildings and people—they can be homes for wildlife too. Travel around the world to discover sky forests, rain gardens, living walls, pollinator pathways and bird-friendly buildings. Meet the plants and animals thriving in urban spaces, from pangolin pathways to wetlands for water snakes. Packed with fascinating facts, colourful illustrations and activities, this hopeful book shows how people are making cities greener, healthier and better places for nature—and how you can help in your own neighbourhood.
