In some Westernized countries, the scale of provision is extraordinarily high, and doubtless leads to both positive and negative impacts for wildlife. In this paper, we review the evidence that these resource subsidies have such a cascade of effects. One potential means of redressing these losses is through the intentional provision of resources to increase wildlife populations in close proximity to people, thereby increasing the potential for positive human–nature experiences, and thence the array of benefits that can result. The trend is of concern in part because interactions with nature can be good for human health and wellbeing. This is a consequence both of a loss of opportunity for, and orientation towards, such experiences. Many human populations are undergoing an extinction of experience, with a progressive decline in interactions with nature.
