As researchers, we often frame human-nature relationships as positive, but we have overlooked the opposite: biophobia. In our systematic review, we outline the phenomenon of growing numbers of people feeling fear, aversion or disgust toward nature: doi.org/10.1002/fee....
Toward a unified understanding of people’s aversion to nature: biophobia
Human–nature relationships are often framed positively, but research rarely addresses biophobia, the aversion to nature. However, negative relationships with nature are likely to become more widespre...

Very happy that our new paper in TREE is out today! We call for a paradigm shift in how we build our cities toward evidence-based urban greening. Cities are key battlegrounds in the fight against biodiversity loss but current planning often falls short. We outline the scientific case & a way forward
Online now: Evidence-based urban greening: a missing piece in biodiversity conservation
Evidence-based urban greening: a missing piece in biodiversity conservation
With calls for increased greenery in cities to safeguard biodiversity and its associated benefits to humans, urban vegetation must be managed carefully and efficiently. It is time to change paths from current spurious attempts to manufacture resilience and instead usher in evidence-based urban greening to secure ecosystems for the future.
