This document discusses urban wildlife in cities like Istanbul and New York City. It lists over 100 species of animals found living in urban parks, including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. The document outlines a project to raise awareness of urban biodiversity by encouraging people to observe and share photos of wildlife using apps. It also discusses designing features like bird baths to support urban wildlife by addressing threats of habitat loss and lack of water sources. The overall goal is to shift people's perspectives on urban wildlife from a nuisance to a valued resource and showcase how cities can play a role in conservation.
