Summary: In 2005, author Richard Louv coined the expression, Nature Deficit Disorder, in his best selling book, "Last Child in the Woods." It sparked an international movement and greater awareness about the growing lack of human connection to the natural world. He discusses NDD and his new book, "Our Wild Calling: How connecting with animals can transform our lives-- and save theirs." Louv suggests strengthening the bonds we share with animals can serve as an antidote to the growing epidemic of human loneliness.
