Organizers say it is the UK’s biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play,and claim it could help improve fitness,mental alertness and general wellbeing.
A documentary film,Project Wild Thing,will be shown at more than 50 cinemas across the UK from Friday.it looks at the increasingly fragile (脆弱的)link between children and nature.
Members of the network include the National Trust,RSPB,Play England and the National Health Service sustainable(可持续的) development unit.
Andy Simpson,chairman of the Wild Network,said,“The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation.”
“Children seldom get in touch with nature,so time spent outdoors is down.Activity levels are declining(下降) and the ability to identify common species has been lost.”
Suggestions of how to get more time in nature include collecting conkers,camping or snail racing,and observing autumn colour on trees.
From January,the network will aim to make suggestions for decisionmakers on how government can do more to get children muddy and brighteyed.
This is not the first time that the message of less screen,more play has been brought up.Children in the 1980s were
begged to do the same by the BBC TV series Why Don’t You,which called on its viewers to “switch off your TV set,and do something less boring instead”.
