The countries where people are best connected to nature revealed
As the name suggests, 'nature connectedness' reflects your cognitive and emotional connection to nature.
'Higher levels of nature connectedness are associated with improved human wellbeing and greater pro-environmental behaviours and positive attitudes towards nature,' the researchers explained in their study, published in Ambio.

To get to the bottom of it, the researchers analysed data from 56,968 people from 61 countries.
The results revealed that 'many nations are falling short', according to Professor Richardson.
