Social interest

Gala van de biodiversiteit

Nature is of inestimable value to our society. That is why we are committed to supporting various social parties in their contribution to the preservation and stimulation of biodiversity. Together with our partners, we develop a wide range of practical tools. Think of accessible manuals, informative posters, interactive web tools and stimulating e-learning modules, all of which are aimed at realizing a nature-positive society.

Expertises:
Making scientific knowledge available (for companies and governments, among others), development of interactive knowledge products, nature-based solutions, natural capital, theory of change and transitions, collaboration and coordination, e-learning, training.
