In Slikken van de Heen werd veertig jaar geleden de resetknop ingedrukt. Door de bouw van de Deltawerken veranderde de natuur van zout naar zoet. Met de geur van watermunt in de neus ziet de filmploeg hoe fitissen en graspiepers zich voorbereiden op het broedseizoen. Europese bizons waden door het Krammer-Volkerak, waar zoetwatermollusken leven. Tegelijk zijn sporen van het zoute verleden nog zichtbaar: zeekraal groeit in de oude slikken en vlak over de dam foerageren wulpen en zilverplevieren. Als klap op de vuurpijl zijn de visarenden terug en ziet Menno Bentveld de eerste balts en paring van dit jaar.

2026 JH2 – closest approach to Earth
2026 JH2 is a small near-Earth asteroid with a diameter between 15 and 35 metres.
It was discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey in Tucson, Arizona on 10 May 2026. Classified as an Earth-crossing Apollo asteroid, 2026 JH2 will pass no closer than 91,000 ± 4,500 kilometres from Earth on 18 May 2026, far enough to pose no threat. During its close approach to Earth, it will brighten to an apparent magnitude of up to 11.5, bright enough to be seen by a small telescope under dark skies.

Vroege Vogels Radio | 17 mei 2026 (Radio 1 NPO)
Vroege Vogels is een live-radioprogramma, tv-programma en online community van BNNVARA over natuur en milieu.
In het radioprogramma wordt het gesproken woord omlijst door licht klassieke muziek en salonmuziek. Het radioprogramma werd in 1978 voor het eerst uitgezonden door de VARA en is een van de langst lopende en best beluisterde radioprogramma’s van de publieke omroep. Het wordt elke zondagmorgen uitgezonden tussen 07:00 en 10:00 op NPO Radio 1. De beginmuziek is een bewerking van Vivaldi’s “Piccolo Concerto in C major” (RV 443).
Veel natuurvolkeren zien de natuur als een complex samenhangend geheel waar je zelf ook onderdeel van bent. In die geest geven Michel Grobbe en Diederik Pomstra de opleiding ‘Educational Professional Bushcraft’. Voor de inheemse bevolking in de Filipijnen kan wilde honing wel eens de sleutel zijn tot het verkrijgen van landrechten. Merlijn van Weerd doet al meer dan twintig jaar onderzoek naar het beschermen van de lokale natuur op de archipel. We sluiten het Nationaal Vogelconcert af met de kleine karekiet. De column is van Jocelyn de Kwant. Vroege Vogels Radio wordt gepresenteerd door Menno Bentveld vanuit het Groene Huis in Amersfoort.

#WHA79 79th World Health Assembly
The World Health Assembly (WHA) is the forum through which the World Health Organization (WHO) is governed by its 193 member states, it is the world’s highest health policy setting body and is composed of health ministers from member states.
The members of the WHA generally meet every year in May in Geneva, Switzerland, at the Palace of Nations, the location of WHO Headquarters. The main tasks of the WHA are to decide major policy questions, as well as to approve the WHO work programme and budget and elect its Director-General (every fifth year) and annually to elect ten members to renew part of its executive board. Its main functions are to determine the policies of the Organization, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme budget. The Seventy-ninth World Health Assembly (WHA79) takes place in Geneva, Switzerland from 18 to 23 May 2026, bringing together delegations from WHO Member States to set global health policy and advance the Organization’s strategic priorities. It will build upon the momentum of the last year’s 78th World Health Assembly, which adopted the Global Action Plan on Climate Change and Health, an updated road map for an enhanced global response to the adverse health effects of air pollution, and the elevation of climate change as the first strategic objective of WHO’s Fourteenth General Programme of Work (GPW14, 2025–2028). Looking forward to COP31, co-hosted by Türkiye and Australia, this Assembly offers an opportunity for the global climate and health community to convene and sustain the political momentum secured at WHA78.

Dag van de Coeliakie / Glutenintolerantie / Coeliac Disease Awareness Day 2026
De Europese organisaties die aangesloten zijn bij de Association of European Coeliac Societies (AOECS) organiseren gedurende de maand mei workshops en voorlichtingsbijeenkomsten waarin extra aandacht gevraagd wordt voor coeliakie en NCGS (Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
Iemand met coeliakie (glutenintolerantie) kan niet tegen gluten. Gluten is een eiwit dat van nature voorkomt in tarwe (waaronder spelt), rogge en gerst (gort). Gluten zit in brood, crackers, pizza, pasta, paneermeel, koek, cake en taart. Het zit ook verstopt in de ingrediënten van soepen (bindmiddel, vermicelli of vlees), in sauzen, sommige snoepjes, ijssoorten en bier. Overstappen op producten van en met haver is geen optie want haver is vaak gecontamineerd (besmet) en daardoor niet zonder meer veilig te gebruiken in een glutenvrij dieet. Glutenvrij eten kan dan wel populair zijn als gezondheidsdieet maar voor mensen met coeliakie en NCGS is het geen hype, het is gewoon medisch noodzakelijk! Het doel van International Coeliac Day is coeliakie extra onder de aandacht te brengen.
#Lightday2026 Day of Light / Dag van het Licht 2026
The Day of Light is a global initiative that provides an annual focal point for the continued appreciation of light and the role it plays in science, culture and art, education, and sustainable development, and in fields as diverse as medicine, communications, and energy.
The broad theme of light will allow many different sectors of society worldwide to participate in activities that demonstrates how science, technology, art and culture can help achieve the goals of UNESCO – education, equality, and peace.

Day of Living Together in Peace 2026
Living together in peace is all about accepting differences and having the ability to listen to, recognize, respect and appreciate others, as well as living in a peaceful and united way.
The UN General-Assembly, in its resolution 72/130, declared 16 May the International Day of Living Together in Peace, as a means of regularly mobilizing the efforts of the international community to promote peace, tolerance, inclusion, understanding and solidarity. The Day aims to uphold the desire to live and act together, united in differences and diversity, in order to build a sustainable world of peace, solidarity and harmony. The Day invites countries to further promote reconciliation to help to ensure peace and sustainable development, including by working with communities, faith leaders and other relevant actors, through reconciliatory measures and acts of service and by encouraging forgiveness and compassion among individuals.
Following the devastation of the Second World War, the United Nations was established to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. One of its purposes is to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems, including by promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion. In 1997, the General-Assembly proclaimed – by its resolution 52/15 — the year 2000 as the “International Year for a Culture of Peace”. In 1998, it proclaimed the period 2001-2010 as the “International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for Children of the World.” In 1999, The General-Assembly adopted, by resolution 53/243, the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, which serves as the universal mandate for the international community, particularly the United Nations system, to promote a culture of peace and non-violence that benefits all of humanity, including future generations.
The declaration came about as a result of the long-held and cherished concept — contained within the Constitution of UNESCO — that “since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.” The Declaration embraces the principle that peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but also requires a positive, dynamic participatory process, in which dialogue is encouraged and conflicts are resolved in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation. The Declaration also recognizes that to fulfill such an aspiration, there is a need to eliminate all forms of discrimination and intolerance, including those based on race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status. 2026 Theme: Building Trust through Dialogue, Inclusion and Reconciliation.
