Last month, the School of Anthropology and Conservation launched a student-led social media campaign called #windowsintowildlife. With a vast amount of research linking human wellbeing to green spaces, we invited staff, students and alumni to submit snaps of wildlife, both flora and fauna, either from their windows at home or whilst out roaming during daily exercise.

Here we offer the best submissions of the different #windowsintowildlife from across the world across the first five weeks of the campaign. And, for any others who want to get involved, please send your picture to sacsocialmedia@kent.ac.uk and we’ll post it on our FacebookTwitter and Instagram feeds for everyone to enjoy.
