From 1 April to 5 November 2023 at the Science Museum - MUSE in the Albere district of Trento, it will be possible to visit the exhibition that addresses four fundamental themes to understand the new urban ecosystem: the threats and obstacles that the city poses to non-human living beings; the opportunities that the city offers; the city environment as a driver of evolution; the positive, conflictual and coexistence interactions between human beings and other species in an urban context.
An exhibition that brings with it a big question: what should or can the cities of the future be like? How does the relationship between humanity and the wild in the city change?
From the peregrine falcon, which from the rocky walls has moved on the cornices of skyscrapers to nest and hunt its prey, to the common gecko, now a fixed presence even in alpine cities such as Trento. From the eastern black crows, which in Japan have learned to use pedestrian stripes as comfortable nutcrackers, to the slow lorikeet, a primate that in Java (Indonesia) is at risk of disappearing due to urban expansion.
These are just some of the stories of nature in the city that you can learn about through videos , interactive exhibits, exhibits and photographs, investigating the sometimes disconnected relationship, sometimes devoted to coexistence, between humanity and animal and plant species in an increasingly urbanised world.
