About Marianne Thieme
Marianne Thieme studied law, is a publicist, public speaker, documentary filmmaker and animal and climate activist. In 2002 she co-founded the Party for the Animals, which entered the Dutch parliament in 2006. The Party for the Animals is the first elected political party in the world that does not focus on the short-term interests of Western people but puts the whole planet and all its inhabitants centre stage. She stepped down as party leader in 2019.
For the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation she has made five documentaries, covering topics such as climate change, the meat industry and biodiversity. For her lifelong commitment to stewardship, integrity and the development of the law, the Andrews University (Michigan) honoured Marianne Thieme with the degree Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.
