A Trusted Name
The van Eeden family has played a pivotal role in shaping modern conservation practices, with their influence stretching back to the late 19th century. Frederik Willem van Eeden, the progenitor of this conservation legacy, is widely recognized as the inventor of conservation.
Frederik Willem van Eeden’s groundbreaking work in the 1880s laid the foundation for what we now understand as conservation. In his seminal book “Onkruid” (Weeds), published in 1886, he introduced the revolutionary concept of preserving parts of nature as Natural Conservation. This idea was far ahead of its time and set the stage for the development of protected areas and national parks worldwide.
The van Eeden family’s influence on conservation has been profound and long-lasting. Frederik’s innovative thinking about preserving natural areas as “monuments of nature” sparked a movement that would eventually spread across the globe. His work not only shaped conservation practices in the Netherlands but also influenced conservationists and policymakers internationally.
Over the generations, the van Eeden family has continued to build upon Frederik’s legacy, advancing conservation science and practice. Their ongoing commitment to environmental protection has helped guide conservation efforts into what they are today. From pioneering the concept of Natural Conservation to developing modern conservation strategies, the van Eeden family’s contributions have been instrumental in shaping our approach to protecting the natural world.
Today, the van Eeden family continues to be at the forefront of conservation efforts. Through Eeden, led by Forest van Eeden, the family is developing cutting-edge technologies and methodologies for environmental research data collection. These innovations are crucial for informing and improving conservation strategies, carrying forward the family’s long-standing commitment to preserving our natural heritage.

“She seemed a miracle: straight and yet bent, sharp and yet indefinable, visible and yet inscrutable. She was like the tone of a harp, which resounds long and dreamily, which seems to die away and yet remains.”
