Anita Aerts
Anita Aerts is a medical professional and nature lover with a great passion for nature conservation and animal welfare.
Born in Belgium, she moved to Aruba in 1999. Living on the island for more than 20 years she developed a great love for the island and its nature.
Concerned about the impacts of climate change, especially on small island states, she co-founded Ban Lanta y Planta that aims to restore the natural tree cover and Aruba’s delicate flora and fauna.
Planting trees, protecting and restoring Aruba’s fauna and flora and at the same time taking positive climate action to fight climate change, for the future of the planet, that is her mission.
