Thus The Guardian today. “Previously unseen wildlife is colonizing British cities,” explains the newspaper, “but local authorities are concerned by the increase.” First came the urban fox. It was followed by tropical parakeets. And now deer, woodpeckers, hedgehogs, terrapins, jackdaws, and birds of prey, including red kites thought to be long extinct in England and Scotland, have joined them, as have many exotic fish and insects. There are many reasons for the invasion, but the key one among them is warmer weather. Some of the wildlife is from far away, and it thus threatens local species. Although there are some mixed feelings about the invasion, the newspaper reports, it is generally welcomed across Britain. Reading from far away, I also welcome it. Wildlife’s resilience delights me. As the invasion shows, global warming will be a boon for some species. The human species is not likely to be among them, though.
