For the love of nature

The more turbulent and uncertain the world around us is, the more important it becomes to find inner peace, the necessary resilience, and an eye for the essential. Nothing can help us to do so as much as Mother Nature can. Go outdoors, pause, connect with nature, and learn from it. If we open ourselves, we can draw infinite strength from nature. And often it is the smallest discovery that opens our eyes to the bigger picture.

We asked nature lovers around the world what nature meant to them.

Birds and nature are a constant source of discovery and joyfulness, and time in nature can enhance the quality of our lives in myriad ways. I love those connections between people and nature. Watching peoples’ faces light up when they see birds, butterflies, or wildflowers is a powerfully positive feeling.Kimberly Kaufman, birder and conservationist from Ohio, US

Nature is my natural surroundings; it is where I feel most at home. I love the thrill of nature, the chance of the unexpected. Every day you go out you see something new. It is also the only place where I can truly relax and forget about the stress of everyday life.Arjan Dwarshuis, birder from Amsterdam, the Netherlands

I love that nature can be found everywhere, from cracks in city sidewalks to the middle of nowhere, and I love the different experiences that I can have in nature - the roaring silence of wilderness or the quiet, peaceful silence of a mossy glen. Nature is a place for me to relax and de-stress, as well as a place to grow, learn, and challenge myself.Sarah Toner, biologist and nature lover from Michigan, US

Nature is my source of finding inner peace and tranquility.Bruce Webb, retired biologist, freelance photographer and passionate birder from California, US

When we see and experience the intricate details, connections, and surprises of the natural world, we fall for it. Nobody can resist the wonders of nature.Leander Khil, ornithologist and photographer from Graz, Austria

The innate human need for connection to "nature" is known as biophilia. Edward O. Wilson proposed this idea. I believe deeply in this concept; it may be as simple as a connection to a pet or even a houseplant, but people's mental and physical health degrades if they can't have some connection to other lifeforms. Gabriel Willow, urban birder and environmental educator from New York City, US
