How wild is the wilderness?

On the last walk I really discovered all the nooks and crannies. Each has a different character and is in a different phase of transformation. The wildest is the most remote part of Rohan Island, where, in addition to wild animals, I also saw settlements, ie alternative ways of living (old caravans, tents ...), which almost formed small villages. In the area, which is roughly in the middle of Rohan, I met hares, pheasants, wild cats and even horses, I felt a bit like Alice in Wonderland, I would definitely not expect such a rich participation in the middle of the city! Rohan is a place where the city meets nature. We are faced with the dilemma of city development and wildlife conservation. Does wildlife even belong to a metropolitan city? Do we have the right to still have places in the city where we can hide from a hectic and consumerist way of life? Prague is privileged to still have such positions, but how long will it take for another "fancy office" to replace them? I am afraid that capitalism has overwhelmed us and that all non-places will be filled with efficiency.
