How can we protect ourselves from the pollution, chemicals and toxins that pervade our environment? And how important is nature to our lives? Proponent of Ecological Medicine Dr Jenny Goodman, nature connections researcher and writer Durre Shahwar and Oxford Professor of Biodiversity Kathy Willis connect the health of our planet with our own well-being.
Goodman (Getting Healthy in Toxic Times) seeks to understand how environmental factors affect our health, from pollution to toxins to radiation. Shahwar is co-editor of Gathering, an anthology on nature and climate by women of colour. Her research has explored how marginalised communities form connections with nature. Professor Willis (Good Nature) has dedicated her research to proving the link between the amount of green space in our lives and our better health, mood and longevity. In conversation with author, conservationist and award-winning broadcaster, Professor Ben Garrod.
