Question

Most of us spend our lives exploring the natural world．We go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside．But our children are growing up with nature deprived （剥夺）．I spent my boyhood climbing trees，catching butterflies，collecting stones in the stream．These days，children are robbed of these ancient freedoms，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found．
The truth is to be found elsewhere．A study in the US：families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed （接近） for ADHD （多动症）．Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%； those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice natural view improved just 4%．ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood．One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children．However，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places．
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature．The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years．And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality．Even problems with crime and aggressive behavior are reduced when there is contact with the natural world．
We need the wild world．It is essential to our well-being，our health and our happiness．
