“…Although these platforms operate in a virtual space, content that is showcased or promoted is often linked to real-world places and activities, allowing for the interaction between direct and mediated nature experiences (Arts et al, 2021). With lockdown restrictions in place, new media technology offered alternative modes of encountering nature (Turnbull et al, 2020).…”

“…Yet, with lockdowns in place, online interactions with nature can potentially be crucial in supporting people's connection with nature and overall well‐being. At the same time, connecting with nature through a (virtual) interface might not be the same as engaging with nature in the outdoors, with social media (and NGOs using it) having the tendency to promote spectacular images and extraordinary stories (Arts et al, 2021; Verma et al, 2015). This study therefore examines the content of conservation and outdoor organisations' social media to understand how online and offline engagement with nature is promoted.…”

“…Media that was readily shared tended to be short, novel, videoed events that could be used to spark conversation with others in the group. While these support the idea that social media promotes homogenised outputs [1], and this data may be less useful for scientifc research that wants to know about repeat events of the same species or less charismatic creatures, it does speak to the attraction of sharing media with trusted others. Directed use of social media to prompt specifc kinds of sharing could facilitate useful data for scientifc research, for example through playful competition focussed on capturing observations of a single species over time.…”

“…For example, on this last point, people may feel diferently about sharing text-based observations of fauna (what, where, when) versus media that could capture personal information (video, photographs, acoustic recordings). Conversely, these media may also drive the sharing of nature experiences, which is certainly the case for posting photos on social media, even if it can result in homogenized representations [1]. IoT -by networking devices -potentially ofers another form of social media for sharing nature data.…”

“…Producers' goals in generating content are hence likely to be important both for their own experience, and in shaping the expectations of others vis-a-vis the nature being depicted, a potentially fruitful area of study (Arts et al, 2021).…”
