ScienceDaily: @ Cities support more native biodiversity than previously thought -- ScienceDaily
I'm always amazed how Nature adapts. Man has done a lot of things like reducing feed for Monarch Butterflies bringing about their possible extinction. But, it seems that Nature always seems to bounce back.
The rapid conversion of natural lands to cement-dominated urban centers is causing great losses in biodiversity. Yet, according to a new study involving 147 cities worldwide, surprisingly high numbers of plant and animal species persist and even flourish in urban environments -- to the tune of hundreds of bird species and thousands of plant species in a single city.
