De Verwonderaars

If you look through the binoculars and the magnifying glass of wonderers, you will see the wealth of nature in the Netherlands with new eyes. This is a series in which we see how passionate citizens and scientists work together to better understand the mysteries in nature. De Verwonderaars is an initiative I started working on two years ago. I decided to become an advertiser for nature, after I increasingly began to literally reflect on the life that surrounded me. I met more people who have an intimate relationship with their natural environment. Each in their own niche, with their own perspective, but all equally passionate and full of wonder. I decided to portray these people because it is enriching to be able to look at the landscape through different eyes. This ode to the citizen scientist is a collaboration between almost all Dutch nature organizations.
