Under The Green Plan 2030 and the vision of City in Nature, nature will become an integral part of our urban environment and will improve our climate, ecological and social resilience. Living in nature requires us to coexist with wildlife, both the favourable and unfavourable, and recent incidents suggest it is still a learning process for all of us.
But why do human wildlife interactions and conflicts occur? How do we relate, value and perceive animal wildlife among us? How can we achieve true human-wildlife coexistence?
Join us for this conversation as we deep dive to reimagine a harmonious human-nature social fabric.
