New study challenges the idea of humans as innately nature-loving Nature is a source of well-being and recovery for many people. However, research shows that there is also a growing number of individuals who experience negative emotions, such as fear, discomfort, or...

"A lack of contact with nature and limited knowledge about nature can reinforce each other in a negative spiral."

#Biophobia - people can fear what they don't know or understand.

Education in and about nature is vital

Connection between biophobia target and framework categories. The three most common biophobia targets and their different associations to the identified (a) drivers, (b) consequences, and (c) treatments. To ensure consistency between panels, data have been weighted so that each study’s total contribution across themes equals 1, allowing studies that mentioned multiple themes to contribute proportionally to each. Note that in panel (c), the theme “Not specified/Other” includes a small number of specific treatments not covered by the conceptual framework, mainly various medical procedures (n = 9).

The conceptual framework of biophobia. General categories and cross-disciplinary definitions of the drivers and consequences of, and treatments for, biophobia are needed to bridge research fields. Although defined here as discrete factors, it is important to note the interaction between internal and external drivers, the relationship between their consequences, and the feedback loop from the consequences back to the drivers of biophobia (“the vicious cycle of biophobia”; Soga et al. 2023). Given its generality, this framework can also be applied to human–nature relationships beyond aversive ones. Illustrations by Robin Hoshino.

[7/8] Le manque d’études longitudinales empêche de mesurer l’évolution réelle de la biophobie. Pourtant, les données disponibles suggèrent un cercle vicieux : moins de contact, plus de peur, puis encore moins d’expérience directe des milieux naturels. #geography #biophobia

[6/8] Les auteurs révèlent un biais spatial. La majorité des 196 études sont menées en Europe et Amérique du Nord. Très peu comparent plusieurs cultures, alors que perceptions, normes et récits de nature varient fortement selon les contextes régionaux. #geography #biophobia

[5/8] La littérature est fragmentée. 98% des études portent sur les animaux, surtout mammifères et araignées. Les plantes, habitats ou paysages sont presque absents, ce qui empêche de saisir l’ensemble des imaginaires négatifs liés aux milieux. #geography #biophobia

[4/8] Cette aversion détériore aussi la santé. Les réactions de stress, d’anxiété ou d’évitement limitent les bénéfices psychologiques associés à la nature. Les auteurs rappellent que ces effets peuvent précéder d’autres troubles comme dépression ou anxiété. #geography #biophobia

[3/8] L’article décrit un ensemble d’impacts majeurs. La biophobie réduit la fréquentation des milieux naturels, limite les interactions écologiques ordinaires et affaiblit les attitudes pro-environnementales, donc le soutien aux politiques de conservation. #geography #biophobia

[2/8] La biophobie résulte de facteurs psychologiques, physiologiques, sociaux et environnementaux. Elle touche 4 à 9% de la population mondiale selon les phobies animales, montrant une vulnérabilité profonde aux espèces jugées menaçantes. #geography #biophobia
