“Children who spent time in green spaces between the ages of seven and twelve tend to think of nature as magical. As adults, they are the people most likely to be indignant about the lack of nature protection, while those who have had no such experience tend to regard nature as hostile or irrelevant and are indifferent to its loss. By expurgating nature from children’s lives, we are depriving the environment of its champions for the future.”
