THE ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY
NATURA ARTIS MAGISTRA 

“Artis Royal Zoo: the first zoo established in the Netherlands and located right in the centre of Amsterdam. It is a place where nature and cultural heritage come together; a place where stories exist since 1838 and where new stories are created daily. Experience them for yourself. Admire the tropical fish in the Aquarium – one of the many historical monuments at the Zoo. Travel through time in the Planetarium. Enjoy the giraffes. See them gallop amongst the zebra, springbok, oryx and wildebeest. Walk through the historical Bird House and study the numerous species of free flying birds. Be amazed by the diversity of animals that share the tropical forest in the renovated Forest House. Every leaf, every tree, every animal, every building and exhibit tells its own story – everyday new.” 

“WHY DO WE SUPPORT AWELY?”

“Artis Royal Zoo is supporting Awely because the two organizations share a valuable main objective: inspiring people to love and care for nature. As the relationship between man and nature is deteriorating alarmingly, only the understanding of, and knowledge about the strong connection between man and nature can halt this devastating process. As does Artis, Awely provides insight into the connection between man and nature and creates the perspective to act and to change one’s behaviour. Not by just focussing on man or nature, nor by just blaming man or nature but with a strong focus on both man and nature, because the solution lies within the relationship between the two.”
