“Far too many people today, of all ages and from all backgrounds, suffer from a lack of connection to nature. I don't use the word ‘suffer’ lightly. It is an affliction and it is tragic how few people seem to realise that the state of our environment and ecosystems directly relates to their own personal health and well-being.”
