Cetaceans in captivity
Certain animal species especially orcas and dolphins should not be kept in captivity. Therefor we will never participate in building dolfinaria or other, in our opinion, not justifiable forms of keeping animals in captivity.

SECORE: onderzoek en herstel van koraalriffen
Tropical coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems on earth, giving shelter to thousands of animal species. Many people depend on fisheries, tourism and coastal protection provided by healthy coral reefs. Yet today, coral reefs are dying at an alarming rate all around the globe.
George Houthoff worked for many years together with the founder of SECORE, Dr. Dirk Petersen for the Rotterdam Zoo and did field work together with Dirk on the coral reefs of Curacao.
