自然是一项人权：为什么我们要在灰色世界中为绿色而战

来自世界领先的“绿色”之声的鼓舞人心的原创作品集，讲述了为什么与大自然接触对我们的精神、身体和社会福祉至关重要
进入自然的绿色空间对我们的身心健康至关重要。但是，随着城市发展的蔓延，灰色已经成为新的绿色。混凝土已经超过了地球上的每一棵树、灌木和灌木。自然剥夺是一种快速增长的流行病，损害了全世界数亿人的健康和幸福，尤其是弱势和边缘化群体。为了应对这一问题，艾伦·迈尔斯（Ellen Miles）于2020年创立了“自然是一项人权”项目，该项目致力于使进入绿色空间成为所有人公认的权利，而不是特权。
这本电子书源于这场运动的使命和愿景，汇集了艾伦从其专家大使和支持者（包括作家、艺术家、科学家、人权专家、电视主持人、TED演讲者和气候活动人士）中挑选出来的一系列引人入胜的文章、采访和练习。通过每一位撰稿人，我们发现了一个新的视角，即为什么与自然接触应该是一项受保护的人权，通过对心理健康、残疾、种族主义、环境不平等、创造力、创新和行动主义的个人叙述。这是一本引人入胜、富有启发性的原创作品和观点集，强调了自然的重要性、剥夺自然的威胁，以及为使我们的全球未来更幸福、更健康、更平等而需要做的工作。
艾伦·迈尔斯是来自伦敦的环境正义活动家。她是“自然是一项人权”运动和“梦想绿色”运动的创始人，这两项运动旨在让所有人都能享有进入绿色空间的权利，这是一项教育和装备人们成为游击队园丁的社会事业。业余时间，她是一名游击队园丁，在哈克尼经营一个当地行动组织。
Nature Is a Human Right: Why We’re Fighting for Green in a Grey World
An inspiring collection of original writing from world-leading ‘green’ voices on why contact with nature is vital for our mental, physical and social wellbeing
Having access to natural, green spaces is vital to our physical and mental wellbeing. But, as urban development spreads, grey has become the new green. Already, concrete outweighs every tree, bush and shrub on Earth. Nature deprivation is a fast-growing epidemic, harming the health and happiness of hundreds of millions of people worldwide – especially vulnerable and marginalized groups. To combat this, Nature is a Human Right, founded by Ellen Miles in 2020, is working to make access to green space a recognized right for all, not a privilege.
This ebook has taken root from the mission and vision of the campaign, bringing together a collection of engaging essays, interviews and exercises, curated by Ellen, from a selection of its expert ambassadors and supporters (including authors, artists, scientists, human rights experts, television presenters, TED speakers, and climate activists). Through each contributor, we discover a new perspective on why contact with nature should be a protected human right, journeying through personal narratives on mental health, disability, racism, environmental inequality, creativity, innovation and activism. This is a captivating and enlightening collection of original writing and ideas that highlights the importance of nature, the threats of nature deprivation, and the work that needs to be done to make our global future happier, healthier and more equal.
Ellen Miles is an environmental justice activist from London.
