Study: Biological diversity evokes happiness
Science Daily: Biological diversity evokes happiness. More bird species in their vicinity increase life satisfaction of Europeans as much as higher income.
A high biodiversity in our vicinity is as important for life satisfaction as our income, scientists found. All across Europe, the individual enjoyment of life correlates with the number of surrounding bird species. An additional 10% of bird species therefore increases the Europeans’ life satisfaction as much as a comparable increase in income. Nature conservation thus constitutes an investment in human well-being.
