Extensive ecosystem degradation and increasing urbanization are altering human relationships with nature. To explore these trends, we created a transdisciplinary, narrative-led podcast series produced by the BBC, called Forest 404. The series explored the implications of a world without nature. An online experimental component mobilized audience participation (n = 7,596) to assess responses to natural soundscapes with and without abiotic, biotic, and poetic elements across five biomes. Conditions featuring the sounds of wildlife, such as bird song, were perceived to be more psychologically restorative than those without. Participants’ personal lived experiences were strongly related to these outcomes; those who had memories triggered by the sounds were more likely to find them psychologically restorative and exhibited a greater motivation to preserve them. Moreover, the effects of both soundscape composition and memories on preservation behavior were partially mediated by restorative potential; respondents were more likely to want to protect the sounds they heard if they thought they might offer therapeutic outcomes. Our findings highlight the value of art-science collaborations and demonstrate how maintaining contact with the natural world can promote wellbeing and foster behaviors that protect planetary health.

Forest 404:利用 BBC 连续剧探索自然界不断变化的音景对人类福祉和行为的影响

广泛的生态系统退化和日益城市化正在改变人类与自然的关系。为了探索这些趋势,我们创建了一个由 BBC 制作的跨学科、以叙事为主导的播客系列,名为Forest 404. 该系列探讨了一个没有自然的世界的影响。一个在线实验组件动员了观众参与 (n = 7,596),以评估对五个生物群落中有和没有非生物、生物和诗意元素的自然音景的反应。有野生动物声音的条件,如鸟鸣,被认为比没有声音的条件更能恢复心理。参与者的个人生活经历与这些结果密切相关;那些拥有由声音触发的记忆的人更有可能发现它们在心理上得到恢复,并表现出更大的动机来保护它们。此外,音景构成和记忆对保存行为的影响部分由恢复潜力介导;如果受访者认为他们可能提供治疗结果,他们更有可能想要保护他们听到的声音。我们的研究结果突出了艺术与科学合作的价值,并展示了与自然界保持联系如何促进福祉和培养保护地球健康的行为。
