I don't think I've read a bigger load of poorly researched shit in my life.
Literally went through novels and came up with this study. No social media, no talking to people, just looking at novels.
It's almost like he wanted to find the outcome he did so he could suggest his "transformational change".
Not sure how he can extrapolate people's "awareness of nature", and whether parents discuss nature with their kids, from looking at books.
If he'd spent 5 minutes talking to actual city dwellers he'd know his whole study was bullshit

@sortius@infosec.exchange weird article. Most Aussie cities are full of green spaces. I'm inner urban in Melbourne, and if I get to a higher elevation can usually barely see the houses for the trees. We have possums, rosellas, galahs, maggies, miners and tawnys in our garden all the time. And we're in an apartment. Have even seen red-crested black cockatoos in the nearby park - 3 minute walk away. Even new suburbs have trees - give it a few years and you'll get a decent canopy. Ours is an established suburb with mid-rises and multimode public transport everywhere. This article makes no sense.
