Dedicated green spaces and wildlife corridors are so important in cities and, well, everywhere, really. Sadly, though, some of the larger species we share our ecosystems with are often seen as pests, especially in urban areas where they have to battle for space, food and water. But they’re all essential parts of our ecosystems, and no ecosystem thrives when only one animal (that is, humans) dominates. So, by actively increasing your garden’s diversity, you can show up for your wider ecosystem – of which we are residents every day, whether we realise it or not.
