Publisher's Synopsis
Key Selling Points This STEM book defines nature, why it's good for us, how access to nature isn't equal, how nature is viewed around the world, ideas for reconnecting with nature and, finally, how we can learn from nature. It addresses topical themes, including climate change, environmental racism, Indigenous knowledge of nature, extreme heat, urban tree coverage and inequality in access to nature. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, more people have found solace in spending time in nature, and outdoor activities are surging in popularity. For example, people visited parks more often, went camping and hiking, and took up birding. The book provides fun ideas and actions young people can take to reconnect with nature in their everyday lives (like nature-based hobbies or ideas for outdoor projects). The author regularly writes about conservation, sustainability and the environment.
