Louise Chawla · 5 Aug 2020

Abstract Within a generation, children's lives have largely moved indoors, with the loss of free‐ranging exploration of the nearby natural world, even as research indicates that direct experiences of nature in childhood contribute to care for nature across the life span.

Abstract Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory.
