When I walk in the woods (which I love to do), I feel the higher temperatures in winter and miss the snow. In spring, I worry about nature being out of sync, with flowers blooming too early and insects arriving too late to pollinate them and eat their nectar. I watch nervously as the trees lose their leaves in summer due to longer droughts, and in autumn I worry about the animals that have to survive the winter with less and less food available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But giving up is not an option! That is why I am happy to use my knowledge of climate communication and the connection between humans and nature for SR (and beyond) to make a difference, especially now that we can still make that difference. For me, climate change is not a hopeless cause as long as there are people committed to a different future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scientistrebellion.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0C61A3BD-6C3A-4528-94C7-F196B3D10D01-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2619 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scientistrebellion.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0C61A3BD-6C3A-4528-94C7-F196B3D10D01-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scientistrebellion.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0C61A3BD-6C3A-4528-94C7-F196B3D10D01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.scientistrebellion.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0C61A3BD-6C3A-4528-94C7-F196B3D10D01-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.scientistrebellion.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0C61A3BD-6C3A-4528-94C7-F196B3D10D01-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.scientistrebellion.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/0C61A3BD-6C3A-4528-94C7-F196B3D10D01.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Marit Bogert<\/strong>.
