This. The urban areas and inner suburban areas where most of HN grew up and lives are much less polluted and have more animals now because we mostly kicked out industry decades ago and the areas have recovered.
...but the outer suburban areas and rural areas have far less wildlife because they are so much more developed than they used to be. There has been some recovery of species in those areas too because many species were widely hunted at the turn of the 20th century and populations have rebounded but that mostly only effects the big visible species.
