Description

Dare urban wilderness means offering a place to unplanned nature in urban life. Most city dwellers today are largely alienated from wilderness, yet fascinated by it, by wild animals and wild plants. Many want to learn more about wildlife in the city, gain understanding, but also contribute to its protection and preserva-tion. Urban wildernesses are ideal learning places, where we can learn from and with nature, and also about how wild urban nature sets up and accompanies the living space created for humans. Urban wilderness is perceived by urban dwell-ers and conservationists, is an opportunity and a challenge and focuses on biodi-versity and experiencing nature. The presentation answers important current questions about the ecological and socio-cultural argumentation on urban wil-derness, its structure, ecological performance, human behavior and the protec-tion of wild nature in the city. Co-Presentation: Dr. Juliane Mathey (IOER): Wilderness on urban wastelands – an annoyance or a paradise for biodiversity?
