Nature is essential to our lives – from the food on our plates to the clothes we wear, from medicines to mental health benefits. Are you getting enough nature? It’s easy to think nature will always be with us. But even in my lifetime, birds like starlings and house sparrows have declined so much they’re now listed as endangered. In fact, nature is faring worse in the UK than in most other countries. The latest State of Nature report shows that over half our wild species – plants, insects, birds, mammals – are in decline. Are you in nature deficit? First, how was your last holiday? Did you spend any time in nature? Shut your eyes and see if you can recall how you feel about the last time you spent time in nature. What about your normal busy day away from stunning views, beaches and sunsets? Does your daily routine give you any experiences of nature?
