Urban Wild The Aussie Animals That Share Our Backyards, Our Cities and Our Lives

About this book

Australians are fortunate that so many wild species can be seen without them having to leave their own homes. They are in danger of taking the animals that live around them for granted, or worse still, of finding them a nuisance and looking for ways to deter them. Australian Geographic has long championed the value of the natural world, no matter how far or near that world may be. In this book, they revisit many of the stories of the species that Australians encounter in their daily city lives. Australia is the most urbanised nation on earth, and yet it shares its built environment with a cavalcade of amazing, fascinating native creatures. This book examines some of the issues around the complex relationship with nature, discovers more about those familiar backyard species, and offers advice on how to encourage wild things into your garden for their benefit, and yours.
