Every year, GNF makes financial contributions to various projects for endangered species from GaiaZOO&#8217;s four habitats (Limburg, Taiga, Savanna, Rainforest). Throughout the year, various fundraising campaigns are organised for different species. In 2025, the focus will be on the European Hamster! <strong>Find out how you can help on the website of Gaia Nature Fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                \n\n                \n\n                                    <div class=\"buttons justify-content-start\">\n                                                    \n  \n  <a\n    href=\"https:\/\/www.gaianaturefund.nl\/\"     target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"     class=\"button tertiary-button\n                        \"\n    style='\n            color: var(--black);      border-radius: 5px;      font-weight: 400;      font-family: Bariol-Regular;      '\n    title=\"Find out more (info shown in Dutch)\" id=\"intro-block_ecad4372c23bd26535b0d4085ea6a4ce-cta-1\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"text\">\n      Find out more (info shown in Dutch)\n    <\/div>\n  <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-md-5  \">\n                                                            <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                src=\"https:\/\/gaia.immx.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gnf.jpg\"\n                                alt=\"GaiaZOO &amp; Gaia Nature Fund \"\n                                title=\"Gaia Nature Fund\"\n                                class=\"img-responsive\"\n                                srcset=\"https:\/\/gaia.immx.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gnf-450x422.jpg 480w,\n                        https:\/\/gaia.immx.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gnf.jpg 2048w\"\n                                sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 480px\"\n                                width=\"470\"\n                                loading=\"lazy\"\n                                                                    style=\"border-radius: 5px\"\n                                                        \/>\n                                    \n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<style>\n    .days-slider .nav-item .nav-link.active {\n        background: var(--);\n    }\n\n    .days-slider .nav-item .nav-link.today.active {\n        background: var(--);\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<section id=\"intro-block_6da3cb904fddffd665fe8eab23fd30ee\"\n         class=\"col-12 white intro  top-space-md bottom-defaultpadding\">\n\n    <div id=\"intro-block_6da3cb904fddffd665fe8eab23fd30ee-hook\" class=\"hook\"><\/div>            <style>\n            @media (max-width: 768px) {\n                #intro-block_6da3cb904fddffd665fe8eab23fd30ee .title * {\n                    text-align: left !important;\n                }\n\n                #intro-block_6da3cb904fddffd665fe8eab23fd30ee .desc * {\n                    text-align: left !important;\n                }\n            }\n        <\/style>\n    \n\n\n\n    \n                        \n        \n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row column-direction  reverse-mobile \">\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-md-7 description  \">\n                                                            <div class=\"title\"\n                             style=\"color: var(--primary)\">\n                                                            <h2>Sustainability<\/h2>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                    \n                                    <div class=\"desc\" style=\"color: var(--black)\">\n                        <p>We believe that we depend on the natural resources of planet Earth.
