The climate and biodiversity crises affecting the planet require profound changes in socioeconomic models that have been identified as one of the root causes of recent environmental degradation. The values and behaviours adopted by contemporary society stand as a formidable menace to the integrity of natural processes. Human interaction with the environment is a component of a socio ecological system in which it is possible to intervene to reverse or mitigate its negative effects on nature. The concept of leverage points proposes the identification of components of a complex system in which it is possible to intervene with great potential for changing its outcomes. Human-nature connectedness represents a high-impact leverage point within this system, as it has the potential to generate a new mindset, create values and stimulate behaviours favourable to the cause of sustainability. Direct contact with preserved natural environments, outdoor activities, wildlife observation and knowledge of the history and cultures of certain regions stimulate people s connection with the natural world, which has been lost with the modern urban-centric lifestyle. Establishing easily accessible public or private conservation areas plays a crucial role in rekindling this connection between people and nature, consequently serving as a pivotal element in reshaping values and behaviours that harm the environment. This work not only presents but also delves into the foundational concepts underpinning the connection between people and nature. It weaves this theme into the foundation of a management plan for a private reserve (RPPN) that centres around fostering the connection between individuals and the natural world. This endeavour aims to reinforce values and behaviours that revere life and champion nature conservation.
