The Wild, Wild East
As our population grows, so does the problem of our coming into conflict with wildlife. With living space in high demand and short supply, urban wild animals are often forced to make unfortunate choices. Problems like mice beneath a restaurant's floorboards or birds nesting inside a chimney pot can pose serious risks to property, health and safety. Sadly, when faced with these situations, we've no choice but to eradicate the problem and take preventive measures for the future.
As a tribute to "London's most urban woodland," Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, The Wild, Wild East presents a picture of how wildlife can flourish in a city environment once our conflict with the animal kingdom for living space has ceased, and those places reserved for our mortal remains are transformed into homes for some of its wild subjects.
