Wild Life Neighbors
An Urban Biodiversity Monitoring Network
Establishment
From Beijing's leopard cats to Shanghai's raccoon dogs, wildlife coexists with humans in the cracks of cities, but public attention, research, and restoration efforts are rare in Beijing. While ecosystems are drastically changing, we still lack foundational knowledge of these systems and their wildlife communities. Formulating scientific conservation or restoration plans become almost impossible.
​
These wildlife neighbors are not only important indicators of urban ecology and providers of ecosystem service but also animals that have the potential to change our relationship with nature fundamentally. As we often live just around these animals, urban residents have direct responsibilities and abilities to protect urban animals and restore nature around us.
What We Do
We are a group of thirteen students from G10 - 12 at Keystone Academy, aimed at promoting human-wildlife coexistence and empowering more individuals in the cause of urban ecosystem restoration.
​Through this project, we hope to not only engage more students in exploring our wildlife neighbors but more importantly, infuse the understanding that wildlife is part of our society as much as we are ingrained into their lives.
Rewilding Project
By adopting a Nature-based Solution to restore the urban ecosystem and promote wildlife coexistence, we hope to find an anchorage where these needs intersect.
Social
Through interactive events and data-sharing networks, we aim to bring students and urban citizens together to celebrate the vibrant wildlife in our midst.
