LOTTE BATEN
Meet Lotte, a driven and enthusiastic advocate for nature conservation, on a mission to create a positive impact. Currently studying Forest and Nature Conservation, she's already actively engaged in various environmental projects and organizations. Her project with DARWIN200 aims to shed light on the unique and fragile vegetation of Tenerife, popularly known as the Volcanic Garden.
With a recent surge in tourism, human activities have taken a toll on Tenerife’s precious ecosystems. Lotta’s project involves diving deep into the heart of Tenerife’s vegetation types, with a primary focus on the cardonal-tabaibal and thermophillous woodlands. The project will explore these ecosystems, studying their unique features and observing the main plant
and animal species that inhabit them. By doing so, we hope to understand the critical
conservation issues affecting these habitats.

She has also created informative videos for Jongeren Milieu Actief, a youth climate organization, in order to effectively communicate complex concepts to a broad audience. Lotte has demonstrated her enthusiasm for conservation through her activities and is eager to expand her knowledge and experience of the natural world through her work as a DARWIN Leader, working on the Volcanic Garden project.
