According to the World Health Organization, the pandemic triggered a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide. Today's guest, Beth Allgood, has a suggestion on what could help. She is an expert in well-being but in a very niche way. She looks at the connections that nature and wildlife play toward the well-being of communities. What's really interesting, but concerning though, is how our current systems are designed in a way that doesn't consider well-being nor value the elements that can lead to it. Beth is on a mission to change that through the organization she founded, OneNature. OneNature seeks to transform policies and practices to foster happiness, interconnection, and well-being for all beings.
Highlights
- How has being disconnected from nature affected us?
- How can ignoring the value of well-being in our economic systems actually result in the opposite?
- How is her work leading to the creation of tools that can result in greater conservation successes?
- Why is just considering trees, and not wildlife, in wellbeing metrics flawed?
What YOU Can Do
- Connect with nature! If something like hiking is not your thing, even just pausing and listening to birds singing or playing with your dog can increase your levels of well-being.
- Don't stay isolated for too long.
- Look for the beauty in the everyday.
