Recovering Humans

Local nature recovery strategies (LNRS) talk about "Nature" as it is separate from us, but we are as much "nature" as a spider or an elephant. We all live in and come from the same planet.

So, if LNRS is also about humans what does that mean for us? What's the road map, the key requirements of a recovered human society. Can we use bigger, better and more joined up in the human context as for habitat?

Do we need to re-make the spiders web to include humans? Would we call this "green infrastructure (GI)?"

The traditional use of GI means it acts as foundational support for urban living, providing several critical ecosystem services: climate adaptation, flood management, human health, biodiversity and ecology. So if we included humans as part of this new GI definition could we call it "Community Support" as a new ecosystem service function? Essentially this boils down to key job roles at key spatial and hierarchical locations.

I've drawn this community support for the London context but might be relevant to other places.
