Dear listers,

My cousin, a psychologist working on mental well-being oriented around nature, asked me about this topic - ‘ecological grief' recently, on which I recall some posts on coral-list a few years ago perhaps? In searching on the topic I found quite a bit online, and none less by some of our own - Steve Simpson and Tim Gordon, on dealing with the mental/emotional impact of working on coral reefs - https://exepose.com/2020/03/18/ecological-grief-how-climate-change-is-affecting-our-mental-health/.

She’s working on this, with a global network of practitioners, which might be of interest to list members - https://thrive-worldwide.org/blog/the-battle-against-climate-anxiety/,  https://thrive-worldwide.org/event/reflective-practise-for-leaders-in-conservation-climate/. Some of this is fee-paying services so I’m not promoting those, but I think the topic is of interest to various on the list.

Sincerely,
