Abstract
Marie Lapointe investigated how urbanization transforms people's relationships with nature in the Solomon Islands. She found that because of limited availability and access, fewer urban than rural dwellers perceived benefiting from ecosystem services, affecting their wellbeing. Findings can inform management aimed at enhancing nature’s contributions to people in cities.
