Globalization has brought higher levels of\ndependence between societies and ecosystems, scaling the interconnection at the level\nplanetary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The greater capacity for affection over the environment and the\ninterdependence between distant societies and ecosystems has been\nincreased. At present, the effects of climate change generate\nextreme weather events in specific regions affecting societies\nthat have not necessarily directly caused alterations in their environment\nclosest natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last century, as a result of a greater demand for resources\nthe degradation of natural environments has increased. This has entailed\nto the loss of biodiversity, the increase in the scarcity of resources and the\nfragmentation of natural habitats on a planetary level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Europe, a historically artificial continent with\nscarce virgin environments due to agrarian expansion and density\npopulation, in the last decade artificialization rates have been reached\n(urban environments and infrastructures) of land up to 5% of the total\nterritory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last century, there has also been a process of\nurbanization of humanity. Populations, increasingly urban, have\nsuffered a disconnection\nwith the natural environment <\/a>in their daily lives. There is a physical uprooting with the\nnatural and rural environment caused by a scarcity of life experiences\nlinked to nature. This results in a loss of awareness and\nfurther disengagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing the link with the natural environment on a personal level\nleads to losing awareness of our interdependence with the environment\natmosphere. This makes it easier for the collective to exploit with impunity the\nnatural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the most notable disasters, the result of this drift of\ndisconnected with the natural environment, human society has managed to change the climate <\/a>global,\ndegrade the ozone layer, cut down 20% of the Amazon rainforest and dry up seas\nlike that of Aral in a few decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental education has focused on teaching us to separate waste <\/a>and to\nuse the bicycle. But we still do not know the planting cycles of the\nvegetables we eat or to identify tracks in the forest. The natural is\nmakes someone else’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reincorporating nature into our lives\nurban means naturalizing our urban environments. The renaturation of\nurban environment supposes a series of benefits in several areas; so much\neconomic, as well as social and environmental. But among all of them, too\nfacilitates reconnection with the environment, which evokes a change of consciousness\npredecessor to a real paradigm shift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last decade the renaturation\nof cities <\/a>has been present in the urban policies of\ncities all over the planet. The incorporation of green infrastructure in the\nurban fabric has been presented as a key tool to reverse our\nrelationship with nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once this relationship changes and we reconnect with the living environment, it will be easier to rethink our production and consumption system to one that stops exploiting nature and starts making conscious and sustainable use of the benefits it provides us through its ecosystem services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
