Neil Oxlee's Man-Made Tree Lures Butterflies, Bats & Birds

UK Designer Neil Oxlee thinks he has the solution to sending animals away from cities. His vertical artificial habitat is designed to bring wildlife back to Leeds, and then release them.

The design by Neil Oxlee stands 40-feet-tall, and is made for small animals, like butterflies, bats, and birds. What’s more, the design is entirely made from recycled materials. Whether or not this is the best way to reintroduce wildlife to the area, only time will tell, but as far as innovative eco-friendly designs go, this is a great one.
