It is the original source of everything from fresh water and food to materials and medicine. It plays a critical role in regulating water cycles and temperature; buffering against extreme weather events; preventing the spread of disease; recycling nutrients and storing carbon; and ensuring the health and wellbeing of society.’		[https://www.cdbb.cam.ac.uk/news/gemini-papers Gemini Papers: What are connected digital twins?], published by the Centre for Digital Built Britain in 2022, suggests that: ‘The natural environment provides the foundations of the built environment, the economy, society and the planet.
