Gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of wildlife coexisting with humans in close proximity, and consider the potential for cities to serve as refugia for various species. Delve into Johns' research on urban wildlife, including hornbills, flying lizards, and colugos, while focusing on his in-depth studies of otter behavior in Singapore's urban landscape.
