Schiermonnikoog is één van de meest wilde plekken van Nederland. Het eiland is gevormd door sterke zeestromen, straffe winden en stuivend zand. Nog altijd is de natuur op Schiermonnikoog voortdurend in beweging.

Op de Oosterkwelder en het strand gaat alles vanzelf. Mensen sturen hier niet in de ontwikkelingen. Zulke plekken zijn er in Nederland niet veel. De natuur vaart er wel bij als wind, water, zand en zout hun gang gaan. Dieren en planten vinden hun eigen plek in het gebied. Tegelijk is er de verantwoordelijkheid om soorten en habitats waar het slecht mee gaat te ondersteunen.

Sinds 1989 is Schiermonnikoog in zijn geheel een Nationaal Park. Het hele Waddengebied is in 2009 door UNESCO erkend als Werelderfgoed.
-------------------

Schiermonnikoog is one of the wildest places in the Netherlands. The island was formed by strong sea currents, strong winds and drifting sand. Nature on Schiermonnikoog is still constantly on the move.

On the Oosterkwelder and the beach, everything happens by itself. People do not steer developments here. There are not many places like this in the Netherlands. Nature thrives when wind, water, sand and salt have their way. Animals and plants find their own place in the area. At the same time, there is a responsibility to support species and habitats that are not doing well.

Since 1989, Schiermonnikoog in its entirety has been a National Park. The entire Wadden area was recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2009.
