When nature and cities collide, the effects can be both positive and negative. A positive effect is that cities can provide resources for nature to thrive such as water, air, and shelter. This is beneficial for many species of plants and animals that would otherwise not be able to survive. On the other hand, cities can negatively affect nature due to pollution and urban sprawl. This includes destroying natural habitats and causing water and air pollution. Ultimately, how nature and cities interact depends on how well they are managed and how much effort we put in to protect and preserve our natural environment.
