The Most Excellent Order of the Golden Ark (nl|Orde van de Gouden Ark) is a Dutch order of merit established in 1971 by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. It is awarded to people for major contributions to nature conservation.[1] Although not awarded by the government of the Netherlands, it is considered by the government as a recognized chivalrous order.[2] Since its inception, over 300 people have been recognised by the award. Now that Prince Bernhard has died, the future of the order is uncertain.
