Environmental Spaces and the Feel-Good Factor: Relating Subjective Wellbeing to Biodiversity
We live in a time of profound environmental change. Phenomena such as urbanisation and agricultural intensification have led to ecosystem degradation and species extinctions, and thus a reduction in biodiversity.
