WE ARE NATURE. https://www.treesisters.org/nature-connection
We know reforesting and restoring are only one part of the fight to protect and restore our natural world. Humanity needs behavioural change on a mass scale if we truly want to stop the destruction and start living in harmony with our lands.
Nature connectedness is a measurable psychological construct grounded in science that captures the relationship between people and the rest of the natural world. Not only do those with a high level of nature connectedness enjoy better mental (and physical) health, but studies have shown that they are more likely to act in environmentally friendly ways. Crucial for conservation and climate change efforts globally. But where do we start, and how do we improve our connection with our natural environment?
You can get started with some easy ways to integrate nature connection into your everyday life below.
Alongside the importance of a human rights-based approach to conservation and restoration, TreeSisters also speak up on behalf of the voiceless by advocating for nature. This involves challenging dominant power structures, highlighting and educating on alternative ways of living with the natural world and encouraging others to adopt more sustainable and biocentric practices.
We also support nature’s inherent rights and ‘The Rights of Nature’. This is the recognition that trees, wildlife, oceans, rivers, mountains etc., have rights just as we do, and we must balance these to ensure the best outcome for the planet as a whole.
Nature advocacy can come in many forms, and you don’t need to have passed the bar to start advocating for nature today.
