Origin & Impact
#Nature became Instagram’s outdoor/environmental tag, showcasing landscapes, wildlife, plants, and natural beauty. It connected nature photographers and environmental advocates.
The hashtag remains massively popular, though critics note irony of experiencing nature through screens. It spawned environmental awareness but also encouraged destination overcrowding.
#Nature demonstrates how social media mediates experience of natural world, making nature both more accessible (through photos) and more distant (through screen intermediation).
