Tom Andries
Tom started his ’nature’ career very early by joining the Jeugdbond voor Natuur en Milieu (JNM - Youth for Nature and Environment) in 1989. Since then nature conservation became his passion.
As a youngster he was involved in organizing youth camps for nature, inventorying areas and helping with the management in several nature reserves around Mechelen like the Mechels Broek. He then became a Master in Science - Biology/Environmental sciences at the University of Antwerp. By implementing several nature restoration projects, he acquired a lot of knowledge and experience with all aspects how to restore ecosystems.
Nowadays his main interest focuses on how to put (EU) policy into practice and to identify appropriate funding, whether private or public funding.
