The project aims to enhance scholarly understanding of cities as wild spaces and foster and strengthen interdisciplinary connections and expertise (of both faculty and students) on the subject; create and promote a network of academics and non-academics involved in enhancement of cities as places for wildlife; advance scholarly understanding of the interweave of human-nature relationships; and provide a comprehensive, empirically grounded micro and macro analysis of attitudes and practices of residents, and key intervening organizations towards wildlife across the region over the past 15 years.
