Ecological grief is an emotional and psychological response to losses in the natural world (e.g., deforestation, wildlife loss, climate change-related loss), which is characterized by an intense feeling of longing and mourning due to ecological damages and decline (Cunsolo & Ellis, 2018). Humans’ natural affiliation with nature explains why ecological losses can have detrimental effects on our mental health and wellbeing (Aruta, 2021). In the psychology literature, however, grief is often understood as a response to a loss of loved ones and rarely extends to the losses that people encounter in the natural environment. Although emerging research began to recognize that ecological grief is a valid experience (Cunsolo & Ellis, 2018), such a grief often does not receive public acknowledgement and very little research and policy efforts are exerted to fully understand and address the source of this emotional experience.
