Every city is home to wildlife, which means we have vast opportunities to create prosperous habitat for animals while improving relationships between wildlife and people. To understand broader patterns of urban wildlife, we first need data from all around the world.

Our mission is to collaborate with partners across diverse cities to replicate research methods and collect data which can support people and wildlife to coexist on our urbanizing planet.

The world stands at a precipice—how will we build our urban future? Will they be places only for people, or can we create functional urban ecosystems, with wildlife as critical components of our cities? The Urban Wildlife Information Network is ready to make a difference for urban residents and wildlife communities around the world, but we need partners to help us expand our reach. Our partners have tremendous input into the growth, direction, and impact of this program, and are instrumental in pushing us forward to benefit ecological knowledge, urban design, and human-wildlife coexistence.
