Abstract

Increased human population, urbanization, and extractive enterprises around the world result in fewer people having access and exposure to natural places. However, research conducted in developed nations has identified nature interactions that have proved beneficial for multidimensional aspects of health (Hartig et al. 2014). With predominantly indoor living and increased technological media, contemporary societies are significantly detached from the therapeutic benefits of nature.
