Participants at the EAZA Education Conference 2025 were invited to share their #LoveNature stories. The conference brought together educators from across Europe and beyond for three days of presentations, workshops, and activities focused on sharing good practice and highlighting future trends in zoo and aquarium education.
My name is Andrea Rizzardi Orlandi. I’m from Milan (Italy) and I completed my master’s thesis at Zoom Torino Biopark. Now I am a PhD student at the University of Birmingham, working in collaboration with Twycross Zoo.
To me, nature embodies both change and resilience, like an ocean wind eroding the coastline. Some are drawn to the wind’s power as it reshapes the land; others admire the coastline’s ability to endure while adapting. I am fascinated by the harmony of both.
