Netherlands “Sustainability means protecting the natural environment our survival depends on — creating a lasting balance between humans and nature for present and future generations.”

About Netherlands

The Netherlands is largely low-lying and reclaimed from the sea, with natural forest limited but wetlands, dunes, and polders supporting significant bird populations. The Wadden Sea, shared with Germany and Denmark, is the largest unbroken system of tidal flats in the world and a critical stopover for migratory shorebirds.
