Bergplaas A Story About the Relationship with Nature

"Bergplaas must surely be about the most passionate, most persuasive expression of Biophilia – the love of nature – one might imagine. A powerful tale of reconnection to the Earth, Princess Irene of the Netherlands shares her vision of oneness to all life around us, inviting people from all backgrounds to partake in transcultural communication towards a sustainable future for our planet."
– Dr John M. Anderson, Associate Prof., Africa Earth Observation Network (AEON), palaeontologist

"Princess Irene's passionate memoir is a brave, lyrical song to true Nature rediscovered in her African Eden: it comes at a time when humanity must reconnect to the Earth to find healing. It deeply resonates with what has inspired my own life in Africa. A must read for all who seek life's meaning."
– Kuki Gallmann

"Bergplaas is an open and honest account of Princess Irene and her journey to discover the true meaning of being Homo sapiens – of discovering the soul in all of life. It speaks to the realization that it is not nature that needs healing, but people."
– Werner Myburgh, Chief Executive Officer, Peace Parks Foundation
