Al centre de la ciutat, entre edificis alts de vidre i acer, es trobava el projecte de revitalització comunitària conegut com la Jungla Urbana.

In the center of the city, among tall glass and steel buildings, was the community revitalization project known as the Jungla Urbana.

Era un espai ple de verdor, amb camins elevats que semblaven tocar el cel, i petits racons plens de fauna urbana.

It was a space full of greenery, with elevated paths that seemed to touch the sky, and small corners filled with urban wildlife.

Enmig d'aquest paisatge, Martí i Laia treballaven en el seu projecte de ciències ambientals.

Amidst this landscape, Martí and Laia worked on their environmental science project.

Martí era un adolescent apassionat per l'ecologia urbana.

“Mira, Laia, podem impressionar tothom si mostrem la importància de la biodiversitat urbana”, deia Martí amb entusiasme, tot i la mirada escèptica de la seva companya.

"Look, Laia, we can impress everyone if we show the importance of urban biodiversity," said Martí enthusiastically, despite the skeptical look from his partner.

“Mmm, jo no ho veig tan clar, Martí.

"Mmm, I don't see it so clearly, Martí.

Millor fer una cosa senzilla i ràpida”, responia Laia, sense molta convicció.

It's better to do something simple and quick," Laia responded, without much conviction.

Però Martí no estava disposat a rendir-se.

But Martí was not willing to give up.

Sabia que calia inspirar Laia per fer-li veure el món des del seu punt de vista.

He knew he needed to inspire Laia to see the world from his perspective.

Per això, va decidir portar-la de visita a la Jungla Urbana.

De sobte, en un racó mig amagat, van veure una petita figura moure’s entre les branques.

En Martí i la Laia es van quedar bocabadats.

En veure aquell llangardaix, un ésser tan fràgil en un lloc tan bulliciós, va començar a comprendre les paraules de Martí.
