The vicious cycle of biophobia

Masashi Soga et al.

Summary: People's irrational fear and disgust towards certain wild organisms, known as 'biophobia', can have both useful and detrimental effects. Excessive aversion towards nature can lead to distress and anxiety, causing people to avoid interactions with nature. This avoidance can perpetuate and intensify biophobia, creating a vicious cycle that threatens biodiversity conservation.

Hope and climate-change engagement from a psychological perspective

Maria Ojala

Summary: This article reviews recent research on climate-change hope and engagement. Cognitive climate-change hope is consistently positively related to engagement, while results regarding hope as an emotion are less consistent. It is argued that when studying hope as an emotion, sources of hope should be considered, as they can be both constructive and less constructive from a climate-change engagement perspective. Additionally, collective climate-change action can drive constructive hope. The conclusion is that future research needs to move beyond the dichotomy between cognition and emotion, and interventions should go beyond optimistic messages and consider pre-conditions for constructive hope.

Disconnection from nature: Expanding our understanding of human-nature relations

Thomas Beery et al.

Summary: The relationship between humans and nature has always been a subject of exploration throughout history, and recently the concept of connection to nature has become an important interdisciplinary field of study. Despite the growing attention to connection to nature, disconnection from nature has been underdeveloped and underresearched. In this article, the authors argue for a comprehensive understanding of disconnection from nature that goes beyond individual relationships and considers social and collective factors. They present the "wheel of disconnection" to illustrate how disconnections from nature manifest and challenge existing research that isolates human impacts on the environment from cultural and political contexts.

Ecological anxiety and pro-environmental behaviour: The role of attention

Jordon Mathers-Jones et al.

Summary: Climate change poses a serious threat to human health, resulting in eco-anxiety as a rational and potentially adaptive response. However, eco-anxiety does not always lead to adaptive behavior. This study investigated the role of selective attention towards climate-related information in explaining this inconsistency. Results showed that eco-anxiety and attentional bias independently predicted behavior, but attentional bias variability moderated the relationship between eco-anxiety and behavior.

What limits Muslim communities' access to nature? Barriers and opportunities in the United Kingdom

Rachael C. Edwards et al.

Summary: Recreation in protected areas is important for health and wellbeing, but there are significant demographic disparities in protected area use, particularly among minority ethnic groups such as Muslims. This study conducted in-depth interviews with Muslim community leaders in the UK to explore the barriers and opportunities that contribute to the accessibility of protected areas for Muslims. The findings highlight the need for protected area managers to consider socio-cultural dimensions, engage with Muslim communities, and embrace diverse worldviews in order to foster a sense of belonging for these communities.

Climate change education for transformation: exploring the affective and attitudinal dimensions of children's learning and action

Carlie D. Trott

Summary: The study found that a multi-site CCE program helped children develop stronger pro-environmental attitudes, deepen their respect for nature, and increase their sense of urgency towards climate action. Through youth-led climate action, children's negative emotions were mitigated, leading to positive impacts on their overall mental health.

Oyku H. Aral et al.

Summary: The direct impact of country-level drivers on pro-environmental behaviors was as expected, with country affluence and income inequality having positive and negative impacts, respectively. However, in terms of cross-level interactions, country education level increased the effect of perceived behavioral control on behaviors.

Accounting for diversity: Exploring the inclusivity of recreation planning in the United Kingdom's protected areas

Rachael C. Edwards et al.

Summary: Protected areas provide various benefits to visitors, but barriers have led to the underrepresentation of certain socio-demographic groups. In the UK, there is a national mandate for designing more accessible outdoor spaces, but the institutional factors contributing to access disparities are not well explored. This study examines governing documents for UK protected areas and surveys managers to explore the links between management approaches and access disparities. The findings highlight the need for explicit prioritization of diversity and inclusion in order to fully embrace national diversity objectives.

Should we connect children to nature in the Anthropocene?

Brendon M. H. Larson et al.

Summary: Teaching children to value the natural world is important, but the diminishing state of nature due to human activities raises the question of whether children should still be encouraged to care and be concerned about it. Ethical dilemmas include the trade-off between health benefits and long-term psychological impacts, as well as the underappreciated ethical dilemmas of the Anthropocene.
