Biological diversity evokes happiness: More bird species in their vicinity increase life satisfaction of Europeans as much as higher income


"A high biological diversity in our immediate vicinity is as important for life satisfaction as our income. An additional 10% of bird species increases the life satisfaction of Europeans at least as much as a comparable increase in income."


“Europeans are particularly satisfied with their lives if their immediate surroundings host a high species diversity,” explains the study’s lead author,at the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Research Centre and the Goethe University in Frankfurt, “According to our findings, the happiest Europeans are those who can experience numerous different bird species in their daily life, or who live in near-natural surroundings that are home to many species.”
