Research paper: Country-level factors in a failing relationship with nature: Nature connectedness as a key metric for a sustainable future: Miles Richardson, Iain Hamlin, Lewis R. Elliott & Mathew P.

Belinda Statler – I can’t find out much about this poet, but she has written some lovely poems and I particularly recommend this one called, The Forest’s Blessed Abode. It is a very moving poem and a lovely way to increase your sense of connection to the natural world. (Also love the person who used the name of this poem for their cafe in Bangkok – read in the comments!)
