Blog post about my research and highlighting the project which provided the context, Generation Wild, a nature connection project designed and delivered by @WWTworldwide

1/11 🧵 Have you heard of Forest Bathing or ShinrinYoku? 🌲 Ever wondered where the practice came from and what we—especially conservationists and #Health practitioners—can learn from it? A brief thread on my @churchillfellowship to Japan and South Korea, and what I discovered🌍
10/11 South Korea needs more private involvement, while Japan needs more government support. So, for countries interested in nature-based public health a balance between private practice and government incentives - with innovative finance mechanisms - could be the way to go.
11/11 These are just a few highlights from my trip. The full report has more on case studies, challenges, recommendations, and much more 🌿 churchillfellowship.org/idea…

Great to have worked on this paper with some lovely folk.
Still a pre-proof version but very pleased to share our @BritishCouncil-funded stakeholder involvement paper on #naturebased #socialprescribing. 👥🍃💦
Co-authored with @SiandB & @claudia__menzel, our amazing mentors @rachelohry @MelissaMarselle @AlettaBonn!
Here's a new case study from Sophie, one of our Blue Prescribing participants: "How nature helps bring acceptance of life’s ups and downs" wwt.org.uk/news-and-stories/… via @wwtworldwide #MentalHealthAwareness

So proud! – at Bristol, England
We're so proud to announce that WWT's Dr Ruth Cromie has been awarded an OBE for services to wetland and waterbird conservation!
She has worked tirelessly for wildlife and led calls for a ban on lead ammunition, which will save more than 1 million birds each year in Europe.
