The Nature Deficit

Humans are more disconnected from nature today than at any other time in history.

Humanity is undergoing an unprecedented shift from a largely natural, outdoor life to existence within built, urban environments - largely in front of screens. Our new environment is drastically different from our surroundings for 99% of human history.

As a result, humans are increasingly disconnected from nature. The impact of this fundamental change in lifestyle is not entirely clear, but illness and all-cause mortality has been linked to time spent indoors.

The Deficit - Screens

NatureScore®

Determine the quality and quantity of natural elements for a location.

NatureQuant has synthesized multiple nature quantification data-sources through a machine-learning process to deliver a “NatureScore” that maximizes the health benefits of nature exposure. Discover your score.

  • 0-19.9
  • 20-39.9
  • 40-59.9
  • 60-79.9
