In this episode of Scientific American Science Quickly, Rachel Feltman discusses urban naturalism with Ryan Mandelbaum, author of 'Wild NYC.' They explore how to find and appreciate wildlife in urban settings, particularly in New York City's Prospect Park. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing nature within built environments, encouraging listeners to adopt a naturalistic perspective no matter where they live. Mandelbaumâs book serves as a guide for urban dwellers to understand and enjoy nearby wildlife, highlighting that nature can be discovered even in the heart of a city.
Wild NYC is part natural history, part field guide, part trip planner about New York City. There's a lot of really interesting things to see.
If you can find nature in New York City, you really can find it anywhere. This mindset of urban naturalism opens our eyes to wildlife opportunities.
