This book identifies and discusses biodiversity’s contribution to
physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing. Furthermore, the
book identifies the implications of this relationship for nature
conservation, public health, landscape architecture and urban planning –
and considers the opportunities of nature-based solutions for climate
change adaptation.
This transdisciplinary book will attract a
wide audience interested in biodiversity, ecology, resource management,
public health, psychology, urban planning, and landscape architecture.
The emphasis is on multiple human health benefits from biodiversity - in
particular with respect to the increasing challenge of climate change.
This makes the book unique to other books that focus either on
biodiversity and physical health or natural environments and mental
wellbeing. The book is written as a definitive ‘go-to’ book for those
who are new to the field of biodiversity and health.
