We're Losing Touch with Nature — And It's Worse Than You Think

We're Losing Touch with Nature — And It's Worse Than You Think

Are we forgetting nature? Michael speaks with Professor Miles Richardson, a leading expert on "nature connectedness" at the University of Derby. Richardson’s research shows a 60% drop in our connection to nature since 1800—reflected in everything from language to lifestyle. Together, they explore why children are growing up without a bond to the natural world, how urbanization plays a role, and what we can still do to reverse this hidden crisis. If you’ve ever loved a walk in the woods, this episode will make you think twice about how—and whether—that experience is being passed on. Original air date 13 August 2025.
