Over the last year, OneNature worked closely with our partner, the Happiness Alliance, to refine the “Wild Happiness” well-being approach (designed to assess life satisfaction based on many domains of well-being, including health, community, economy, social support, and individual and community values for the wildlife around them) and tested it!
