- University of Tokyo GSALS Associate Professor Masashi Soga has commented as follows regarding this joint research project.
- People have always turned to nature for relaxation and tranquility, and recent advances in research and technology have made it possible to quantify such intangible health benefits.
- However, very little is known about the role played by biodiversity in providing these health benefits.
- This joint research project is a large-scale investigation of how interacting with nature in our gardens, perhaps the most familiar nature to most of us, affects our health and well-being.
