Wildlife belongs in our cities just as much as we do. Coyotes, raccoons, birds, and insects all play essential roles in maintaining balanced ecosystems, even in urban environments. Yet as cities expand and green spaces shrink, wildlife is often forced into closer contact with humans, leading to unnecessary conflict. The solution isn’t to remove them—it’s to learn how to coexist. Green spaces like parks and gardens are critical for wildlife, providing food, shelter, and safe habitats. Without them, animals struggle to survive, and the entire ecosystem suffers. By protecting and expanding green areas, we can create environments where wildlife can thrive alongside us, benefiting not just the animals but the health of our communities. Coexistence begins with respect. Avoid feeding wild animals—this creates dangerous dependencies and can lead to aggressive behavior. Instead, give them space to live naturally. Coyotes, for example, regulate prey populations, helping ecosystems stay balanced. They may not always feel like welcome neighbors, but they are vital to a healthy environment. Wildlife is not something to fear or fight—it’s something to appreciate. Sharing our urban spaces with animals fosters biodiversity, strengthens ecosystems, and reminds us of our connection to the natural world. Let’s leave wildlife alone and work toward cities where humans and animals can peacefully coexist.
