Instructions ›
Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

As humans, we have become urban animals. So this is our new habitat. It wasn't the case like hundred years ago. Only a tiny minority of the human population was living in cities. But urbanization's really taking off. So now more than half of humans are already living in cities, and this is only going to increase." And humans are part of a wildlife community, even in cities. We need lots of other animals, including ones we might not always think about, like moths and spiders, to thrive in cities as well. Understanding how animals are adapting - or not - to urban areas today can help us build better, more wildlife-friendly cities in the future.
