Environment
Fostering a deep respect for nature among individuals in our society is key to building resilience. Individuals who feel a sense of belonging and responsibility towards the land and the planet we inhabit have a deeper connection and understanding of the environment and make greater efforts in taking care of it. Indigenous populations have done this throughout their entire existence. Today, participatory biotope maintenance could be one of the ways in which stewardship can continue to be brought forward, flipping the role of humans in the Anthropocene.
