Discover the cosmopolitan wildlife that shares our city alleys and backyards with urban ecologist Chris Schell and find out how American history has shaped many species.
Thinking that wildlife lives “somewhere else” is an easy mistake. Urban ecologist and National Geographic Explorer Chris Schell has dedicated his work to understanding and celebrating the surprising wildlife in our backyards. But this show isn’t only an exploration of animal behavior. We go on assignment with Chris to discover the unexpected story of how American history has shaped urban wildlife.
Chris Schell
Chris Schell is an urban ecologist, professor, Afrofuturist, father, and published author. His research at the University of California, Berkeley, investigates how carnivores—coyotes, foxes, and raccoons—adapt to life in cities. This transdisciplinary work aims to disentangle how environmental injustices have structured our urban ecosystems and how we can harness those lessons to build more just, biodiverse, and resilient cities. He is a Cal Academy Fellow and board member and was a member of the 2021 Grist 50.
