Art and landscape, and a sense of wonder. Ambassador coordinator for Northern Europe

Protecting the Birds of the Waddenzee

Dutch conservationist organisations have joined forces to educate photographers and others about the birds of the Waddenzee.

The Waddenzee, a tidal mudflat area that runs all along the northern coast of the Netherlands and extends as far as Denmark, is a unique habitat listed as one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.

Interview with Bob Luijks

When Bob Luijks agreed to let himself be interviewed for Nature First, I couldn’t have been happier. Bob is not only a passionate nature photographer who leads workshops and trips, but also editor-in-chief of Natuurfotografie magazine and a popular series of handbooks and guides for nature photographers, so one of the more influential voices in the Dutch photography world.

Meet Madeleine Lenagh – Nature First Ambassador

Originally born and raised in the United States, Madeleine has lived in the Netherlands since 1970. At the present, she is near Haarlem and the North Sea coast. Madeleine is primarily a landscape photographer who looks for beauty in the simple and mundane. She joined Nature First in 2019, distressed by the damage her fellow photographers cause to the landscape and to wildlife and their habitats.

Nature First en Dag van de Aarde

Het zal niemand verbazen dat Nature First is opgericht op Earth Day (Dag van de Aarde) in 2019. Het belang van de natuur plaatsen boven het belang van de foto ligt in het verlengde van het voornemen om goed te zorgen voor onze planeet en het inzetten op duurzaamheid.

Earth Day 2022 – The Netherlands

That Nature First chose to launch on Earth Day 2019 should surprise no one. The commitment to photograph our natural world whilst putting the importance of nature foremost in our priorities is an extension of the commitment to be a steward to our earth and to sustainability.

Interview met Ruud van der Bliek

Toen ik recentelijk een oproep deed voor nieuwe teamleden, meldde Ruud zich meteen aan. Ik was blij met zijn enthousiasme, zijn nuchterheid, en de manier waarop hij kijkt naar zijn praktijk als reis- en workshopleider. Tijdens een gezellig lunch heb ik hem uitgehoord over zijn werk en over Nature First.
