单集简介 ...

Across China, wildlife keeps turning up in places built for people, from shops and streets to parks after dark. The line between the built environment and the natural one is blurring in real time. Why is this happening now, and what is pulling these creatures closer? Is it a sign of environmental progress or the early stage of a collision waiting to happen? On the show: Steve, Yushun & Yangyang

  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Round Table.

  • A wild boar crashes through a Nanjing supermarket, sending shoppers scrambling.

  • A macaque raids a vending machine in Guizhou town.

  • A leopard cat gets caught on infrared cameras prowling a Beijing park at night.

  • Across China, the boundary between concrete and forest is dissolving in real time.

  • But why are animals showing up in cities more than ever before?

  • What's actually drawing them in?

  • And is it a sign of environmental success, or are we on a collision course just waiting to happen?

  • Coming to you from our studios in Beijing, this is Round Table.

  • I'm Steve Hatherly.

  • Thank you very much for being with us today.

  • And for the show, I'm with Yang Yang and Yushan.

  • First up.

  • Wildlife and city used to feel like opposites.

  • You went to a reserve to see animals and to a city to see people.

  • But in China, that line is blurring fast.

  • Animals are showing up where they're not supposed to be: in parks, on the streets, wandering into supermarkets.

  • And cities across the country are having to figure out, often in real time,

  • what it means to actually share space with them.
