We reviewed 475 publications on HNC and found that most research has concentrated on individuals at local scales, often leaving ‘nature’ undefined. Cluster analysis identified three subgroups of publications: first,ce:italicHNC as mind/ce:italic, dominated by the use of psychometric scales, second,ce:italicHNC as experience/ce:italic, characterised by observation and qualitative analysis; and third,ce:italicHNC as place/ce:italic, emphasising place attachment and reserve visitation. To address the challenge of connecting humanity with nature, future HNC scholarship must pursue cross-fertilization of methods and approaches, extend research beyond individuals, local scales, and Western societies, and increase guidance for sustainability transformations./ce:simple-para/ce:abstract-sec/ce:abstract
