Where Cities Become Ecosystems
Amid concrete, traffic, and city lights — life quietly thrives in forms often overlooked. From tiny insects and resilient plants to elusive reptiles and urban-adapted mammals, each species plays a vital role.
Urban spaces are not separate from nature — they are living, evolving ecosystems shaped by coexistence. This session invites you to rediscover your city as a shared habitat.
