Covid-19 Lockdown: Nature Reclaims Public Spaces

Mallards walking on a bike path in Toulouse. Since the beginning of the lockdown due to the Covid-19 outbreak in France on March 16th, public parks and gardens, playgrounds are forbidden to the public. For more than six weeks, nobody has intervened in these public spaces. And the cleaning services haven't cut the wandering vegetation which grows in the streets or in the cracks of the city. As a result, nature reclaims public spaces. A botanist, Boris Presseq from the Natural History Museum of Toulouse, keeps an eye on this green explosion. Toulouse. France. May 8th 2020.
