Discourse: Who spots our Otter?

Biodiversity in the Scheldt Valley

Toegankelijkheid
  • Je begrijpt vrij veel Nederlands en kan ook iets vertellen.

The chances of our spotting an otter on safari in the Scheldt valley are low ... but your chances of learning everything there is to know about the Scheldt Valley mascot are very high! The otter loves water ... if it's healthy. How can humans help restore the otter’s natural habitat in the Scheldt Valley?

The WWF Ranger Club provides a challenging activity for the younger otter spotters during the walk. Children are thus very welcome to participate in the discourse!
