Abstract
Urban areas support nearly every taxonomic group of insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, and mammals, including wild and domestic animals. The most successful urban wildlife can adjust to human activity and are generalists when seeking food, water, and shelter. Some animals are enjoyed by humans, while others are feared and exterminated. Insects and mammals have the most conflicts with humans, and urban wildlife managers find dealing with the people involved more challenging due to expectations for interacting with animals in urban green spaces. Negative impacts on wildlife include fragmentated habitat, road barriers, and chemical pollution. Strategies to improve habitat include using native plants in parks, creating shared spaces for enhanced wildlife viewing, protecting riparian corridors and floodplains, and creating strong urban tree canopies and wildlife corridors.
