Zoöp Amstelpark

On 4 October 2025, Zone2Source and the Municipality of Amsterdam, together with the Zoönomisch Instituut, signed a contract to manage the Amstelpark in the future as a Zoöp and a learning place for multispecies politics for the city. This made Zoöp Amstelpark the first public Zoöp. Since Sustainibility Institute V.U. and Yuverta MBO Urban Greening joined.

In the year that Amsterdam celebrates its 750th anniversary, Zone2Source, a testing ground for art and ecology in Amstelpark, has invited the municipality to manage Amsterdam for the next 750 years as a city for trillions of lives instead of 1 million people, for a radical democracy in which everyone truly counts. We develop Amstelpark into a testing ground for the city, where we will learn and practise together with citizens and policy makers what politics, legal systems, design, planning, learning methods and practices we need for a society in which the interest of all live – human and more than human – is cared for.
