The Natural History Museum is creating hi-tech gardens full of sensors to look at how wildlife reacts to changes in climate and can be better protected in our towns and cities.
The gardens will allow researchers to look at the kind of life that makes these environments home, from insects and frogs to tiny microscopic organisms invisible to the human eye.
Sensors installed across the site will monitor conditions like temperature, humidity and sound.
Although there are some five acres of grounds surrounding the site in London, for more than 25 years only one small corner has been used as a dedicated wildlife area.
Scientists are now working to create a garden across the entire area as part of a living gallery, which will open to the public towards the end of next year...
