Lieke Janssen

What is your background?
I studied Biology at Utrecht University, specializing in ‘behavioral ecology’ and ‘science education and communication’.

What is your role at Grazelands Rewilding?
I do a bit of everything! I am responsible for (animal) administration, but I’m also involved in facilities, communication, and events. And when needed, I’m available to help in the field.

What drives you in your work?
The freedom and creativity I get to contribute to our shared goal of increasing biodiversity in European nature.

What makes you happy in your work?
The amazement on people’s faces when they see the herd in the area for the first time.

What animal would you like to be?
An eagle, because of the beautiful view and the peace you experience when flying in the sky.
