The Dutch Zoo Association actively involves children in nature projects. Every year the participating Dutch zoos choose a new child as ambassador (kinderdierekteur). Part of the job is to promote a nature project in a competition. This year, Mitchell Sluijter, kinderdierekteur for Safaripark Beekse Bergen has chosen our Pendjari Lion Project again for this competition. The winning project gets EUR 2.500 and Mitchell will do his very best to motivate family, friends and strangers to vote for our project. We hope you will vote for him !!!
