Michael J. Coren: Why you should become a volunteer #urban #biodiversity scientist: Next time you pick up your phone to snap a seflie, try grabbing a photo of the life around you.

"Mountain lions prowl near downtown San Francisco. Leopards stalk the Mumbai suburbs. And kororā, or little penguins, nest under porches in New Zealand’s capital.

Tens of thousands of species coexist with humans in the concrete jungles that live up to their name. These plants and animals are just out of sight — unless, that is, you try to look for them."
