Nature in the city harbours a wide range of biodiversity. While some species are welcomed, others have settled uninvited. This is case with wild boar. The challenge managing large urban wildlife not only ecological but also cultural, political, and ethical. study, driven by general uncertainty surrounding socio-ecological issues coexistence boar potential solutions, explores discusses nature flow information underlying specie’s management policies. Our approach based on field survey conducted Bordeaux Metropolis, aimed at tracking shared between local stakeholders. objectives twofold: i) to gather analyse existing data boar, problems generated their presence city, systems; ii) model flows social groups facing challenges or involved management. study points lack data, along confusion regarding key organisations responsible for monitoring issue. effectiveness policies depends ability frame problem, used as an instrument power actors engaged legitimacy struggles. Assuming that integration prerequisite freedom choices, we discuss implementation collaborative reporting platform, tailored context.Keywords: fauna, management, conflict, knowledge, network

Abstract Cemeteries, traditionally reserved for mourning, are also valuable urban green spaces contributing to ecosystem services, wildlife habitats, and human well-being. This study focuses on London’s Magnificent Seven cemeteries, which vary in habitat usage, from semi-wild nature reserves active burial sites. In autumn 2023, we conducted non-participatory observations of activities presence, surveyed visitors (n = 176) regarding their perceptions birds (crows, magpies, parakeets, robins, owls, blackbirds), mammals (fox, grey squirrel, bats, rats, cats, hedgehogs, rabbits, deer) (e.g. biking, dog walking, picnicking). Our showed that primarily engaged solitary or accompanied walks. Observed animals included crows (Corvus spp.) pigeons (Columba spp.), as well squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Regarding visitor perceptions, was generally perceived positively, with invasive ring-necked parakeets (Psittacula krameri) non-native occasionally evoking negative perceptions. Activities like grave visiting walks widely accepted, while picnicking, biking sports less favored, younger participants locals being more accepting lively activities. Urban cemeteries play multifunctional roles beyond offering recreation habitats. highlights the importance recognizing critical refuges both people wildlife, demonstrating sacred grounds wilderness can coexist create restorative busy cities. The future survival inner-city depends rejuvenation integration into local communities, enabling them act nature-based solutions withstand development pressures.
