Why does this matter for outreach?
Because burned-out people don’t mobilize. Anxious minds can’t plan. Frightened communities don’t trust.
We need mental health strategies not just to survive the climate crisis but to act within it.

Eco-anxiety. Burnout. Moral distress. Grief. Trauma.
These aren’t buzzwords. They’re real, common, and valid emotional experiences in science and conservation.
Talking about them doesn’t make us weaker. It makes us honest.

People in the Global South do less to cause climate change but suffer disproportionately from it. Ecological grief is one of many psychological impacts of climate change; here’s a description of a recent study of it in Ghana, from @carbonbrief.org.
