The Accidental Ecosystem

The Accidental Ecosystem explores the surprising rise of urban wildlife across American cities, which now host more wild animals than at any time in the past 150 years. From a deep historical perspective, the book examines why many cities have become unexpectedly vibrant habitats for diverse species and considers the implications for urban living and nature. It offers insights into how human and non-human communities coexist and challenges traditional notions of what it means to be wild in an increasingly urbanized world.
