THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Thanks to your symbolic adoption of this tiger, we can protect this animal and its environment even better.
Dearest colleagues,
This Christmas, we decided to embrace the spirit of giving by supporting the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
We have chosen a specific form of support through the purchase of an adoption package! This way we support three remarkable animal species: the panda, polar bear, and tiger.
As an organization that holds sustainability in high regard, we believe this donation will have a positive impact on preserving our planet.
As a sign of this donation, this year each employee will receive an adoption package, containing a stuffed animal and information about the specie it supports.
Moreover, the box itself can be transformed into postcards, so nothing will be wasted.
Let's all make a difference together and create a more sustainable future!
A big thank you to everyone for 2023, and we look forward to continuing together in the new year!

In the booklet you can read why your help is so important and how together we can care for nature and its inhabitants.
On this page you can read the English translation of the text in the booklet.

IT'S NOW OR NEVER
A wild boar is rooting in the ground looking for something tasty. The animal does not yet know that it has just become prey itself. Because a little further on a tigress has laid down in the bushes.
The big cat hasn't caught anything for two days. Her cubs are hungry. For the first time today they remain calm. Their mouths are watering.
Every time the boar isn't looking, the tigress comes a little closer. Step by step, as quietly as possible. She can smell her prey so well now! She narrows her eyes and then... suddenly a bird flies up! The wild boar is startled and runs away. For the tigress it is now or never.
AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
Building houses, plantations and factories has left very little room for the tiger. That is why people and tigers encounter each other more often. That sometimes goes wrong, because farmers don't want their animals to be eaten. And in Asia, people also use tiger body parts as medicine.

TAKE ACTION
There are fewer and fewer fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles in the world. Their habitat is rapidly being destroyed by agriculture and infrastructure. Hunting and poaching, overfishing, environmental pollution and climate change are also major threats. Tigeres also suffer from this.
Fortunately, there is also good news, because we can reverse this situation within 10 years. But then everyone has to contribute in his or her own way.

BE ONE WITH NATURE
If you take good care of nature, you also take good care of yourself.
For us, nature is not opposed to humans, but we are an inseparable part of it. We love plants, animals and people in all their diversity.
We are nature!
The booklet in the WWF adoption package is made of elephant grass. That plant grows in the Netherlands and is very environmentally friendly.
