Good to end the week with the first paper acceptance of 2026: The Human-Nature Relationship Across Two Centuries: Macro Factor Insights from a Machine Learning Model. I guess it'll be published in February.

The UK ranks 55th of 61 nations for nature connection Urbanisation & ease of doing business biggest negative factors Valuing spiritually & faith over technology are positive Environmental organisation membership had little impact Our latest research: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Open access to our latest research featured into today's Guardian: link.springer.com/article/10.1... Differences in nature connection across the globe explained by urbanicity, business environment, plus scientific and religious values.

Britain may be 0, but Ireland is barely a shade better as one of the 10 countries with the lowest connection to nature. It's about time we get together and sort this out. Great paper by Myles Richardson @findingnature.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our latest research shows that people who perceive local nature as rich and varied reported better wellbeing and less psychological distress, regardless of how many trees were actually there. Blog summary and link to full paper: findingnature.org.uk/2025/10/24/g...

Behind these compelling blue stripes lies a wake-up call. 🌊🐟 The stripes represent the decline in marine biodiversity since 1970. Developed by @findingnature.bsky.social @derbyuni.bsky.social. www.naturepositive.org/news/blog/oc... #OceanPositive #NaturePositive

Are we forgetting nature? Michael speaks with Prof. Miles Richardson @findingnature.bsky.social , whose research shows a 60% drop in our connection to nature since 1800. They explore why children are growing up without a bond to the natural world. Listen to the #podcast here 🎧➡️ loom.ly/7l3hQnE

Fascinating study by @findingnature.bsky.social argues that lack of nature connectedness is “a key root of the environmental crisis” and finds around 60% decline in use of “nature words” in books between 1800 and 2020 #slowmemory

What if it were possible to simulate how generations lost their connection to nature? My latest research does just that and it matched the decline in the use of nature words since 1800. Summary and links to full paper: findingnature.org.uk/2025/08/11/m...

Vital new research on how we lost connection with nature … the extinction of experience over generations …

Shocking but perhaps unsurprising finding by @findingnature.bsky.social that human connection to nature has declined precipitously. This is bad for our health and for the preservation of nature. The solution? Regreen, and take your kids outside. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In the context of our 300,000-year-old species, this is a rapid disconnection from the environment that sustains us. Important work from @findingnature.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What if it were possible to simulate how we lost our connection to nature over 200 years? My latest research does just that and validates it against the decline in the use of nature words: findingnature.org.uk/2025/08/11/m...

Even a 1000% increase in urban greening by 2050 wasn’t enough to reverse the disconnection from nature caused by the ten-fold increase in urbanisation since 1800: findingnature.org.uk/2025/08/11/m...

Recovery of the human nature relationship is possible, but slow. Transformative action today is needed for a post 2050 recovery: findingnature.org.uk/2025/08/11/m...

Understanding how nature connection was lost is key to knowing how to restore it. Summary of my latest research which suggests a way forward by looking back: findingnature.org.uk/2025/08/11/m...

How many nature words would they use? Modelling the decline in nature engagement due to urbanisation mirrors decline in the use of nature words: findingnature.org.uk/2025/08/11/m...

Nature words in books have declined by 60% since 1800 and a model simulating over 200 years of human–nature relationships in an increasingly urban world accurately mirrors that decline. What happens when it runs through to 2125? My latest research: findingnature.org.uk/2025/08/11/m...

What if it were possible to simulate how generations lost their connection to nature? My latest research does just that and it matched the decline in the use of nature words since 1800: www.mdpi.com/2673-4834/6/...

Powerful research with a clear message. “Children are fascinated by the natural world. It’s maintaining that through their childhood and schooling that’s essential, alongside urban greening. There’s policies starting to do that but we’ve got to think in transformational terms – not 30% but 1,000%.”

My latest research shows a 61.5% decline in nature connection since 1800, closely matching the decline in the use of nature words: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
