Many people are losing direct contact with nature, a phenomenon termed as the extinction of experience. Urban dwellers particularly affected by this process that influences public health and habitat conservation. We explored experience among urban populace in Nigeria, clear Global South representative rapidly increasing human population. interviewed 600 adults from several cities performed statistical tests. Results show most respondents have no nor connection revealing an important distancing natural world. The reasons gave for not experiencing nature more often mainly related to material terms (e.g., lack time, money nearby areas). found higher also connected which is promoted perception neighborhood safety. Respondents living Lagos, those lower levels income education greater dissociation nature. relationships between real perceived naturalness bird species decoupled, but richness correlates. Our study provides novel information on loss human-nature interactions its determinants Afrotropics. recommend different actions necessary ameliorate problem.
