The secret survival of wildlife within the urban sprawl
In short: While cities expand into the countryside, nature is simultaneously moving into our streets. This film explores how resilient species adapt to human-dominated environments and what it means for the future of European wildlife.
The video examines a "two-way invasion" occurring in the Ile de France region: urban sprawl encroaching on rural land, and nature reclaiming city spaces. It highlights the resourceful species that have successfully established themselves as "stowaways" in towns and cities.
By focusing on these adaptable animals and plants, the film explores a significant facet of European biodiversity. It questions whether these hardy inhabitants are destined to vanish or if they represent a permanent shift in how we share our environment with other living things.
