The everyday reality of nature volunteering
Volunteers are crucial for ecological research and nature conservation. However, despite calls in the volunteering literature to look beyond recruitment only and pay more attention to retaining and supporting volunteers, nature volunteers’ experiences have received little empirical attention. Using open survey questions among a diverse sample of formal and informal Dutch nature volunteers (N = 3775), we present a qualitative analysis of the facto…
Human-Nature Relationships and Religious Views in Indonesia
How people view their relationship with nature plays an important role in public support for environmental conservation. We conducted a large-scale survey to measure human-nature relationships in Indonesia, using the Human and Nature (HaN) Scale, which has been used in different countries for the past two decades. Considering the important role religions play in Indonesian lives, we were specifically interested in looking at how religions influen…

Testing the Biophilia Hypothesis Through the Human and Nature Scale on Four Continents
According to the biophilia hypothesis, humans have a fundamental tendency to affiliate with nature. If this hypothesis is true, large majorities of people should express a high level of nature-friendliness (a tendency to affiliate with nature), and this level should have low variability across cultures. We tested this proposition using the interculturally applicable Human and Nature (HaN) scale. We compare the outcomes from 12 previously publishe…
Going Beyond the Instrumental View on Nature and the Human–Nature Relationship
We explore how human–nature connection and well-being in an urban context relate to nature in general, but with special attention to “values” of nature beyond the immediate city settings. We apply the “visions of nature” framework through a quantitative survey ( N = 362) held among the citizens of Lima, Peru to better understand their ideas, values, and images of relationships with nature. To achieve this, our research questions are as follows: (…
Relational values of nature
Relational values reflect the qualities of the relationships between humans and nature, such as care, social bonding, place attachment and spiritual meanings. In this perspective article, we argue that understanding relational values is vital for nature conservation, and we identify how incorporation of these values may function as leverage points for achieving more effective nature policy. We discuss the distinctive features of the concept of re…
The Thrill of Discovery
The important role of direct experience in nature has sparked an interest in studying people's significant experiences in nature, yet few studies have addressed the nature experiences of biodiversity citizen scientists. For organizations involved in organizing biodiversity citizen science projects, or interested in improving recruitment and retention in existing projects, insight into which experiences in nature are especially memorable and impac…
