1. Nature Learning Center Powered by Naturalis - Curious by Nature

2. Educational mission
The Mission of Naturalis is:
We want to describe, understand and explore biodiversity for human well being and the future of our planet.
Key promise
Each contact with Naturalis increases my enthusiasm for and knowledge of the amazing diversity of nature.
That is a great promise because understanding and love for nature makes people change their attitude and behaviour towards it. This is also our educative goal. This doesn’t happen for everybody. It starts with wonder and motivation. That inspired us for this educative mission:
We will discover biodiversity together. Whatever you feel, whatever you know, there is always more to be enthusiastic about, more to learn and more to discover.
We will discover biodiversity together. What- ever you feel, whatever you know, there is always more to be thrilled about, more to learn and more to investigate.
