New York City is wilder than you might think. Thousands of species of birds, mammals, insects, plants, fungi, and more are surviving -- and thriving -- in every part of our city.

Eric Sanderson is the Vice President of the New York Botanic Garden and author of Mannahatta and the upcoming Before New York: The Natural Geography of the City.
