Siegfried Woldhek expresses his ideas in his drawings and in the organizations he helps shape. He is the initiator/ceo of NABUUR.com, an internet-based organization that enables villages around the world to get direct assistance from committed global citizens.

Prior to NABUUR, Woldhek worked for over 20 yrs in conservation, a.o as ceo of the World Wildlife Fund-Netherlands (700.000 members,1990-1998). The basis for NABUUR was laid during the years that Woldhek led WWF and the conservation breakthroughs he masterminded there. In 2002 HRH Prince Bernhard awarded him the Golden Ark for his contribution to conservation.

As a separate career, Woldhek has been making literary and political portraits for leading Dutch newspapers since 1976. His work is often exhibited and published. On www.woldhek.com more than 1000 of his portraits are shown, making it the largest private portrait gallery of the entire Internet. For his contribution to Dutch literature he received the Gravesande prize.
