Finding Nature Blog

by Becky Parker

We recommend this blog on issues about nature and our interaction with it.  It is written by Prof. Miles Richardson, Professor of Human Factors and Nature Connectedness at the University of Derby.

He also created the nature stripes which raise awareness about the loss of wildlife,  in the same way that the climate stripes from Prof. Ed Hawkins show the rise in global temperature.
