Meeting and caring for our nature neighbours
Digital experience prototype study | Coming soon 
A digital experience introducing people to the plants, insects and ecological relationships that make up their local nature neighbourhoods.
Overview
Nature Neighbours explores how digital experiences can help people understand local plants and insects as interconnected members of a shared nature neighbourhood. 
Rather than presenting species as isolated facts or identification records, the project uses accessible stories and contextual information to reveal relationships between living things, seasonal conditions and place.
The digital prototype guides users from noticing a local species, to learning about its relationships, and then identifying one realistic action they can take to support its wellbeing. 
Developed from findings from the earlier community co-design workshops, the project responds to a gap in many existing biodiversity platforms by connecting information with reflection, place-based engagement and achievable forms of care. 
It investigates how digital design might strengthen, rather than replace, people’s relationships with real environments and support a gradual movement from curiosity and understanding towards everyday ecological care.
