Abstract

Digital technologies have revolutionized the way we interact with the world, blurring the lines between the physical and digital realms. This manuscript delves into the transformative potential of these technologies in bridging the gap between humans and nature. Specifically, we focus on the evolution of digital technologies and their role in enhancing well-being through a closer connection with nature. By exploring various applications, from mobile apps to immersive VR environments, this chapter discusses the potential psychological benefits of digital nature experiences. We also examine implications for future technological advancements and nature conservation strategies, emphasizing the balance between technological progress and natural harmony.
