Deepening children's interaction with nature addresses the issue of environmental generational amnesia
This study addressed the issue of environmental generational amnesia – that is, each generation in its youth perceiving the degraded condition of the environment as the non-degraded (normal) condition. This means that across generations, the baseline for what counts as healthy nature shifts downward. A proposed solution is to broaden and deepen children's interactions with nature, to engage them with “big nature.”
