The opening chapter distills the assessment’s central story: how nature supports the health, prosperity, and identity of people in the U.S., how those connections are changing, and what risks and opportunities lie ahead. It synthesizes findings across all chapters into an accessible, big-picture narrative, highlighting inequities, emerging issues, and pathways for action.
