Chicago is the third largest city in the United States and is mostly made up of built, forest, and grassy areas.

To examine how wildlife are functioning across these habitats, the Urban Wildlife Institute (based in Lincoln Park Zoo) collaborates with the Chicago Park District, Archdiocese of Chicago, Forest Preserve Districts, Fermi National Lab, independent golf courses and cemeteries, among others, to survey sites across gradients of urbanization, landcover types, and socioeconomic statuses.
