Connecting Biodiversity With Mental Health and Wellbeing — A Review of Methods and Disciplinary Perspectives (original) (raw)

This review examines the connections between biodiversity and mental health and wellbeing, critically analyzing past literature and its disciplinary variations. The findings indicate a marginal increase in interdisciplinary research yet highlight persistent inconsistencies in guiding theories, measurement variables, and study designs. The study proposes a framework to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and recommends a focus on more specific, mechanistic studies to better inform policies that align biodiversity conservation with human health and wellbeing.
