This Speaker for the Living represents other-than-human life. To the best of their ability, this Speaker will help translate the interests of other-than-human life into what we should and should not do. It goes without saying that such a person has extensive knowledge of ecology, animal behaviour and the like.<br><br>Our Speaker for the Living is Thijs de Zeeuw \u2013 known for, among other things, the Embassy of the North Sea and the new lion enclosure at Artis zoo. Together with him, we will map out who else is actually living (growing, swimming, walking, flying) at De Ceuvel and what these beings can tell us. Throughout the year<br>we will support them where possible, so that step by step we increasingly truly coexist with the life around us. As a Zo\u00f6p, we are not alone: together with other Zo\u00f6ps, we work towards transforming our economy into a regenerative (restorative) human-inclusive ecosystem, a<br>network of exchange of matter, energy and meaning that nourishes all beings.
