Clarins Seeds of Beauty

PRESERVE BIODIVERSITY.

The partnership between PUR Projet and Clarins was formed following a meeting between two visionaries who are both passionate about nature: Christian Courtin-Clarins and Tristan Lecomte. Seeds of Beauty is one of the projects rolled out by Clarins which aims to preserve biodiversity in cooperation with local communities who will benefit from the projects.

DID YOU KNOW?

Mangroves...

… help support a diversity of fauna and flora, many of which are endangered species.

… act as important areas for fishing, and represent an essential source of food for coastal populations, as they are rich in natural resources such as wood, textile fibres and medicinal plants.

… work as carbon sinks that protect us from global warming.

… are one of the most efficient natural ecosystems in the world!

Indonesia, the hub of our commitment

Since 2016, Clarins has been providing support for local projects in several regions in the Sumatra Island, Indonesia. Our goal? To improve and preserve the quality of land, reduce erosion, and increase and diversify the producers' income. A genuinely virtuous circle wherein we are all key players who collaborate with each other: You, PUR Projet and Clarins.

WOMEN SPEAK

Maksyarin (36) - wearing brown clothes - and Sulaini (37) - wearing yellow clothes - are two sisters living a few km outside Takengon

They both work in the hectares family’s farm, cultivating coffee, durian, jack fruit, orange and cacao. They normally clean and pick coffee. The farm also has a nursery for coffee plants (showed in the pictures). In here the family grows the plants twice a year and distributes them to other farmers in the area. At the moment they have 16.000 4-months old plants (they will be ready in December). Maksyarin has 3 kids and Sulaini 5.

Why you should plant trees

One tree can generate multiple benefits!

Adaptation to climate change.
Soil enriched with organic matter and decontaminated, and risks such as landslides and damages caused by erosion are mitigated.
Improved pollination, pest control and preservation of biodiversity.
Water purification and improved infiltration and water holding capacity of soil and atmosphere.

LOCAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS:

Increased and diversified revenue.
Education and training for a more sustainable agricultural model.
Preservation of customs and traditional know-how.

Knowledge of agroforestry
