New Yorkers and wildlife are finding solace in the city's parks
CNN
New York City's wildlife is thriving, and that's thanks to devoted scientists and activists who have spent decades bolstering robust wildlife habitats in the city's five boroughs.
Helen Forgione, Natural Areas Conservancy's senior ecologist, is one of those scientists. For more than 30 years, she's dedicated her career to restoring New York City's parks and natural, untouched green spaces.
"In some cases, we're not really seeing animals coming back to New York, but we're seeing the right habitat for them to be more visible," she said. "We're also seeing animals moving around and looking for the right habitat ... They're finding the right kind of space for them to breed and live."
