Welcome to Playful Learning Landscapes Action Network on ChangeX! It’s time to reimagine how the ordinary can become extraordinary.

We share space with many wildlife species in cities.  They are all connected to us in same way. A large tree can pump around 100 gallons of water a day in the air and this moist is essencial for us to breathe. Grasslands and soil's insects are important to help creating a way for the water drainage through the soil. Trees depends on pollinators to survive, and we too for our food security.   Creating awareness about species that coexist with us, and how we impact them everyday,  can help us to think of better strategies to coexist. 

Can you imagine yourself directly contributing to save a endangered species? For example,  transforming your lawn into pollinator garden, and connecting to other gardens can provide vital habitat for the critically endagered Rusty-Patched Bumble Bee. This species' range includes the city of Chicago, and it is about to disapear. If you don't have a lawn, you can help colonize alley spaces with native flowers. Or plant in vases. Or help to keep the leaves, which are very important for reproduction of many  insect species. We can also act by protecting our waters and demanding companies to remove roundup and other bad pollutants from their shelves. 

Connecting everyday with nature is known to be related to levels of happiness, and very important for  menthal health. It is amazing to engage family and neighbours about the species we can observe and help right around us. 

Time is short and we must act now to protect wildlife. With this project, we are going to use art and technology to promote urgent awareness  about nature conservation and actions to improve coexistence with wildlife in cities.
