The COVID-19 crisis remains an international health disaster with serious impacts on health and business. As countries asked, and continue to ask, their human populations to stay at home to limit the spread of coronavirus, wild animals have been spotted exploring the empty streets of some of the world's largest urban areas.E This period of unusually reduced human mobility can provide invaluable insights into human-wildlife interactions. Reduced human mobility during the pandemic reveals critical aspects of our impact on wild animal welfare, providing important guidance on how best to share space on this crowded planet. Lockdown effects have been drastic, sudden, and widespread. Countries have also responded in broadly similar ways across large parts of the world, presenting invaluable replicates of this phenomenon. This paper will highlight various adaptations and changes in behavior developed by wild animals in urban areas during the early pandemic period. They concerned the effects on wildlife and ecosystems that are related to human activities, possible interactions between humans and wildlife, and the perspectives on wildlife and ecosystem management going forward.
新冠疫情危机仍然是一场国际卫生灾难，对健康和商业造成了严重影响。随着各国要求（并将继续要求）民众待在家中以限制冠状病毒的传播，人们发现野生动物出现在世界上一些最大城市的空旷街道上。这段人类活动异常减少的时期可以为我们了解人类与野生动物的相互作用提供宝贵的见解。大流行期间人类流动性的减少揭示了我们对野生动物福利的影响的关键方面，为如何在这个拥挤的星球上最好地共享空间提供了重要指导。封锁的影响是巨大的、突然的和广泛的。在世界大部分地区，各国的反应也大致相同，为这种现象提供了宝贵的复制品。本文将重点介绍大流行病早期城市地区野生动物所表现出的各种适应和行为变化。这些变化涉及与人类活动相关的野生动物和生态系统的影响、人类与野生动物之间可能的相互作用，以及野生动物和生态系统管理的未来展望。
