Dr Fuller, lecturer in biodiversity and conservation at the University of Queensland and CSIRO, will explore the fact that although there's evidence that the well-being of humans increases with exposure to our surrounding biodiversity, the opportunities for people to experience nature are declining rapidly in the modern world.
