| dc.description.abstract | Ever since the first COVID-19 related lockdowns in 2020, people faced changes that immensely influenced their lives, and some experienced a decline in their well-being. Through the potential inability to leave our homes, fear for our health as well as the constant changing of laws and rules, we feel strained; so, to seek comfort we might experience the urge to spend more time in nature, our natural habitat. While this might not always be possible during the times of a pandemic, we do our best to adapt to the new standards, finding ways to bring nature and peace back into our newfound isolated urban lifestyles | en |
