Johan van de Gronden of the Dutch Cancer Society returns to nature: ‘One day we look at the world and we don’t understand that we have allowed everything to happen’

For a while, Johan van de Gronden was still director of the Dutch Cancer Society. His days are spent meeting and making decisions, but from January he will exchange that large fund, with more than 150 million euros in cash, for a small but promising migratory bird institute in Leeuwarden. Eager: “I thought: Whoooo that’s interesting. Something is at stake.”
