As the urban environment continues to improve, we will encounter more wild animals in the city. The encounter between man and wild animals is a beautiful dialogue between man and nature. But at the same time, it may also bring conflicts. Scientists need to prepare for conflicts before they escalate and prevent them from happening.
Wang Fang’s scientific research team at Fudan University cooperates with citizens and other government departments and organizations in society, contributes their own efforts, and makes joint efforts to make efforts for the harmonious coexistence of humans and wild animals in the city. The funds provided by the public and other social forces have become equipment and instruments used to monitor urban wildlife activities. The data collected by these devices and instruments are returned to the urban social database, telling scientists the changes in urban animals at the fastest speed, and providing them with real-time threats faced by urban animals.
Over the years, data from the database has shown researchers, governments, and the public how wild animals that make urban homes integrate and adapt to urban environments. At the same time, it also shows people the way to get along with wild animals in the city: leave some woods and wetlands for them, and give them some buffer time… Slowly, they will adapt to the city at their own pace.
How did this scientific project jointly implemented by scientists, citizens, governments and other social organizations work? What kind of wild animals make their homes in cities? How should we prepare for more wild animals that may appear in cities in the future? Let teacher Wang Fang of Fudan University tell you.
