Columbia University, International Affairs

Richard Louv delivers a powerful call to action to reconnect people, especially children, with nature. Society has an outsized faith in technology, but has not fully realized or even adequately studied how human capacities are enhanced through the power of nature, he maintains.
Richard Louv is the author of The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder and 8 books about the connections between family, nature and community. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Times of London, and other major publications.
