Greater London National Park: Letting Cities Go Wild - Daniel Raven Ellison

New York City seems to be about as far away conceptually from the wilds of Alaska's protected national parks as possible. But National Geographic Emerging Explorer Daniel Raven Ellison explains that this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Ellison has created the Greater London National Park*, working to procure a national protection for the plants, animals and people who make their lives inside of Europe's largest city. He hopes that people can reconnect with nature and, instead of thinking of it as a distant place far removed from the city, embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle in the place that people live and work everyday.
