Richard Louv is available for speaking engagements, virtual presentations, podcasts and media interviews.

His topics include:

 Planet Hope: Reducing individual and societal despair through imaginative hope, redefining green jobs, and creating a nature-rich future

The New Nature Movement: a worldwide effort to connect children, adults and communities to the natural world

Nature-Deficit Disorder®: the psychological, physical, spiritual and societal cost of the human disconnection from the natural world

Vitamin N: The growing body of scientific research on the value and application of nature in the field of physical and mental health as prevention and therapy

Applying the Nature Principle: The role of biophilic design and architecture in creating towns, cities, schools and workplaces as engines of biodiversity, health and productivity

The Hybrid Mind: How nature connection and outdoor classrooms build cognitive development and creativity, reduces Attention Deficit Disorder, and raises test scores

Our Wild Calling: How connecting with animals, both wild and domestic, can transform our lives - and save theirs

Species Loneliness: The epidemic of social isolation, its relation to our disconnect from other animals, and how to reverse the trend

The Art of Noticing: Using mindfulness and the full use of the senses to enrich daily life, through nature experiences

The Human Right to Nature: Inequitable access to nature, and the nascent worldwide movement to recognize the human right to a positive connection to nature, and the rights of nature itself

Nature in the Time of Covid-19: The new appreciation for nature as an antidote to isolation and contagion, the value of outdoor classrooms for social-distancing and socialization, the inequitable distribution of nature, and the current endangerment of nature connection programs
