‘Our common house is burning and we are looking elsewhere. Nature is mutilated, overexploited and cannot reconstitute itself’.

Biodiversity: a scientific evidence

The scientific evidence is clear: the impoverishment of biodiversity or biologic diversity has become a very important threat to humanity. Between now and 2050, 25% of the species will have disappeared if nothing is done to bring this situation under control.


The disappearance of animal and vegetal species is consistent with evolution, but today, because of man related activities, 1 000 to 10 000 times more species are being eliminated than they would be eliminated by Nature alone.

But this erosion of life is neither ineluctable nor irreversible. This is why inaction is no longer acceptable.

To face such a vital stake, an association has been created and has decided to act and bring its own response.
On a 9 ha property, located in St-Ay, close to Orléans, the association (as per the 1901 law) gives life and leads a project called Herboretum, a garden of herbs, with a role of an ambassador of biodiversity.
