De grootste uitdaging was om tijd te vinden om de beweging vooruit te helpen terwijl we fulltime banen en gezinsverantwoordelijkheden proberen te beheren. We zijn ons gaan realiseren dat om deze beweging succesvol te laten zijn, we toegewijde mensen nodig hebben die tijd hebben om te investeren.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"\">Onlangs, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.larsgesingphotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lars Gesing<\/a>, uit Hamburg, Duitsland, nu woonachtig in Denver, Colorado, heeft ons enorm geholpen door zich vrijwillig aan te melden als onze communicatiedirecteur. Hij behandelt nu een groot deel van de dagelijkse e-mailcommunicatie en de sociale netwerkaspecten van <em>Nature First<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p><h3>WIJ ONDERNEMEN STAPPEN OM TE DRAAIEN <em>NATURE FIRST <\/em>EEN NON-PROFIT ORGANISATIE.<\/h3><p class=\"\">Achter de schermen realiseren we ons dat om deze beweging te laten groeien, we ons wettelijk moeten registreren als een non-profitorganisatie en we hebben onderzocht hoe we dit kunnen doen, zodat we ons kunnen houden aan lokale wetten, maar ook internationale vertegenwoordiging in de organisatie hebben. Zodra de organisatie is geregistreerd, kunnen we geld inzamelen om personeel aan te nemen om er een nog levensvatbaardere en actievere internationale beweging van te maken. We hopen dit ergens deze zomer te realiseren.\u00a0<\/p><h3>WIJ WERKEN AAN HET VASTSTELLEN VAN PARTNERSCHAPPEN \u2014 OP DE JUISTE MANIER.<\/h3><p class=\"\">We hebben ook besproken wat het voor organisaties en bedrijven betekent om partner van te worden <em>Nature First<\/em>. In het begin begonnen we met dit idee van partnerschap voordat we het volledig hadden doordacht. We hebben tal van organisaties en bedrijven die zich bij ons willen aansluiten, wat best spannend is, maar hoe we officieel zullen samenwerken met een kleine non-profitorganisatie, met een overheidsinstantie, met een groot bedrijf of een klein bedrijf, is totaal anders. We hebben daarom gewerkt aan het vinden van de beste structuur voor deze partnerschappen en aan het defini\u00ebren van verwachtingen en voordelen om partner te worden. Veel hiervan zal worden gestold nadat we de organisatie officieel hebben geregistreerd.<\/p><p class=\"\">Hoewel er op het eerste gezicht misschien niet veel lijkt te gebeuren, is deze organisatie langzaam aan het stollen en zich aan het voorbereiden om een entiteit te worden die de fotogemeenschap kan helpen ambassadeurs te worden van onze natuurlijke wereld, en onze historische rol als degenen die de bescherming en het behoud van onze wilde en natuurlijke landen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Een overzicht van de eerste maanden daarna <em>Nature First&#039;s <\/em>oprichting, en een vooruitzicht waar we van plan zijn om vanaf hier te gaan.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":122,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[11],"ppma_author":[50],"class_list":["post-121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-nature-first"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"An overview of the first few months since Nature First\u2019s founding, and an outlook where we are planning to go from here.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Erik Stensland\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/news-items\/2019\/07\/13\/where-we-stand-today-and-where-we-are-going-from-here\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 4.9.8\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"nl_NL\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Nature First - The Alliance for Responsible Nature Photography\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Where we stand today \u2014 and where we are going from here!

Als gevolg van zijn twijfelachtige advies bracht ik een groot deel van mijn vroege jeugd door met het verkennen van het bergachtige terrein rond ons huis in Montana met een zoutvaatje in de hand. Gedurende deze jaren vond de wildernis zijn weg naar een diepe plek in mij en werd een centraal onderdeel van mijn leven. De eenzaamheid, de stilte en het gevoel van verbondenheid met iets dat veel groter is dan ikzelf heeft me sindsdien aangetrokken. Na mijn studie heb ik ongeveer tien jaar samen met mijn vrouw Joanna op het Europese Balkan-schiereiland gewoond. Jaren van hoge stress in deze periode leidden tot ernstige burn-out. Op zoek naar herstel greep ik de kans aan om naar de bergen van Colorado te verhuizen, aan de rand van het Rocky Mountain National Park. Daar, op stille paden, omringd door schoonheid en eenzaamheid, begon mijn ziel zich te herstellen. Ik besloot om van wandelen een carri\u00e8re te maken en werd zo een professionele natuurfotograaf. Terwijl ik dag en nacht over de vele paden van het nationale park wandelde op zoek naar unieke beelden, kwam ik weer tot leven en merkte dat ik overspoeld werd met dingen waarover ik wilde schrijven. Hierdoor werd ik schrijver en ook uitgever. Deze tijd in het wild blijft indruk op me maken dat we allemaal meer eenzaamheid, stilte, stilte en schoonheid in ons leven nodig hebben."}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2902,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121\/revisions\/2902"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
