"The familiar patterns of our lives have been broken, the future is unknowable, and all of us are searching for signs and wonders, for reassurance, for hope, for things that make sense to us when everything seems desolate," wrote Macdonald. "We are beginning to view nature through new eyes."

"I have been surprised by the sensuousness that nature has given me: the green fragrance of lanes near my home, the brush of wind on skin, the pleasure of planting and watering," she continued. "Without human contact, it’s all I have, but it feels, right now, enough. In lockdown many of us have rediscovered gardening, or found ourselves focusing on the wellbeing of houseplants on our windowsills."

Edward Enninful OBE, editor in chief of British Vogue, said in a statement that the issue is "not only beautiful and poignant, but also highlights that at the core of everything is our planet."

"I very much hope 2020 signals a reset in our relationship to nature," he added.
