Nature is everywhere…🌲
As the main theme of the EUROPARC Conference 2019 “Nature on your mind: understanding our values” says, nature is present in all the aspects of human life, from the air that we breathe, the food and water to the sources of inspiration and spaces that hold us, nature is everywhere. Our urban life makes society believe that nature has something to do with pristine forests and unreachable places, that nature is always “out there”.
However, everything that we consume, use, see or perceive comes from nature itself, in fact, sometimes talking about the word “nature” is limiting, since everything comes from it and can not be separated. In some cultures, for instance, the word “Nature” doesn’t even exist, is not part of their vocabulary, since nature is inherent to everything. The world is Nature. We are Nature.
