This volume brings together rich insights of how biological diversity matters to
people and their physical, mental and spiritual health and well-being, particularly in
the context of a changing climate. Notably, the volume takes a systemic approach to
assembling evidence from the social, natural and health sciences, draws on practical
expertise from applied case studies, and discusses findings in the frame of ongoing
developments in policy and planning. By understanding the true value and potential
of biodiversity for health, we can develop the policies, research and practice to safe-
guard and secure these crucial contributions from nature to society and to our future.
This book helps understand what is at stake and what can be done. We should do it
quickly, because we have no alternative – and Mother Nature is the timekeeper.
