“…characteristics of pastoral activities in alpine pastures). Finally, as recommendations for future NEA implementations, we highlight the need to further consider: i) French overseas territories and their original tropical and subantarctic ecosystems, ii) the roles of ES, biodiversity and nature for human wellbeing, physical and mental health (Marselle et al 2019), and iii) future tipping points that might induce regime shifts, three aspects that the duration of the NEA did not allow.…”

The French national ecosystem assessment (NEA), called EFESE for « Evaluation nationale des écosystèmes et des services écosystémiques » was launched in 2012 by the Ministry of Environment to comply both with European and national requirements. This paper reports on the design and implementation of the French NEA for high mountain systems, which (i) describes mountain ecological systems, (ii) characterizes the multiple ecosystem services they supply, and (iii) discusses the challenges and options related to sustainable governance of French mountain systems. Results highlighted the disproportional positive contribution of mountains to people's well-being, as well as their vulnerability to several drivers of change such as climate change or modification of agricultural practices. Based on the complete report, non-prescriptive key messages were provided as a summary for decision makers. This assessment was run as a participatory process, led by a core scientific working group and involving experts from academic, institutional and NGO structures. In this paper, we describe and discuss the design and implementation of the French mountain NEA and compare it to other international experiences. We believe our experience can support future NEA processes, in France and in other (inter)national settings.

“…The anthropogenic planetary context is defining humans' experiences of health and well-being, their relationships with the environment, risks to and experiences of ill-health and diseases [1]. Biodiversity loss has a direct impact on human health [2]. One of the pathways of impact is related to the microbiota.…”

The growing prevalence of obesity worldwide poses a public health challenge in the current geological epoch, the Anthropocene. Global changes caused by urbanisation, loss of biodiversity, industrialisation, and land-use are happening alongside microbiota dysbiosis and increasing obesity prevalence. How alterations of the gut microbiota are associated with obesity and the epigenetic mechanism mediating this and other health outcome associations are in the process of being unveiled. Epigenetics is emerging as a key mechanism mediating the interaction between human body and the environment in producing disease. Evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a role in obesity as it contributes to different mechanisms, such as metabolism, body weight and composition, inflammatory responses, insulin signalling, and energy extraction from food. Consistently, obese people tend to have a different epigenetic profile compared to non-obese. However, evidence is usually scattered and there is a growing need for a structured framework to conceptualise this complexity and to help shaping complex solutions. In this paper, we propose a framework to analyse the observed associations between the alterations of microbiota and health outcomes and the role of epigenetic mechanisms underlying them using obesity as an example, in the current context of global changes within the Anthropocene.

“…34 Crucially for psychiatrists, links have also been made between natural spaces of high value and improved mental well-being. 3,32,34 A 2014 literature review by Lovell et al, however, offers caution about drawing definitive associations between increased biodiversity and health and encourages further research on this relationship. 35 Recently, a study of the impact of biodiversity across Europe added the finding that the diversity of birds in an ecosystem improved people's life satisfaction.…”

“…In fact, new evidence is rapidly verifying that the loss of biodiversity in both quantity and quality has real impacts on our health, both mental and physical. 2 , 3 This evidence is finally catching up with associations between nature and healthfulness that exist across many cultures, and the knowledge central to many indigenous cultures. 4 , While this is an important development we should respect that gaps in our knowledge and apprehension regarding specific correlations should not preclude action.…”

The need for biodiversity champions in psychiatry: the entwined crises of climate change and ecological collapse

Summary The past 20 years have seen the disappearance and degradation of biodiversity on earth at unprecedented rates. This phenomenon shares similar drivers to those behind climate change yet requires its own solutions. The twin catastrophes of climate change and biodiversity loss demonstrate how our health is bound up in the vitality of this planet. There has been an increasing effort on the part of healthcare professionals to appreciate this relationship, as evidenced by the growing influence of planetary health as a discipline. However, the health impacts of biodiversity loss have been less focused on than those brought on by climate change. Psychiatry's appreciation of the interface between environments and our health, alongside the evidence for the connection between nature and mental health specifically, prompt psychiatrists to ensure that the institution of healthcare throws its influence equally behind solutions to climate change as well as biodiversity loss.
