The biodiversity of our planet sustains us. From the air we breathe and the water we drink, to the soil we sow and the fuel we use. But the earth does more than provide the basic necessities that allow people and wildlife to survive and thrive.
Our ability to experience nature helps to improve our well-being and our mental health. We spend our hard-earned money and time on a variety of pursuits to experience nature’s wonders: from expensive safaris to bird watching in the garden, to camping and days at the beach. We have good reason to, engaging with the earth’s natural diversity there are health benefits to be had.
But, with the earth’s decline, it’s worth taking a look at how this will in turn affect people's well-being and health.
Many people enjoy experiencing nature and are willing to contribute towards its future conservation through charities and public spending. Unfortunately if we don't learn and understand how to appreciate and value it, this could have a significant effect on our well-being and subsequently our mental health. But we have to remember that we are a small part of a bigger picture and things like the trees, rivers and animals are also part of this connection and they play a huge part too.
We are all connected in so many ways, seeing life through a different lens and how this can change the way we experience life.
Protecting nature and wildlife will help us to protect ourselves.
