Urban Wildlife Becomes the New Normal

Urban gardens hold unexpected visitors. São Paulo saw a twenty-six percent increase in wildlife

rescues this year. Opossums and marmosets now navigate city spaces regularly. These creatures

adapt to concrete and noise. They search for food in unfamiliar territory.

Residents call for help when animals appear confused or trapped. Each rescue reveals

the same truth. Wildlife and humans share shrinking boundaries. The animals aren't

invading. They're surviving. Backyards become temporary refuges. Balconies turn into

observation points. The city expands while nature contracts. Every rescued animal tells a story of

displacement. Of adaptation. Of coexistence that wasn't planned but became necessary.
