REPLANTING FOR THE PLANET AND FOR THE BEES
Have You Ever Imagined A World Without Bees?
Picture a place where there are no trees to provide shade or for kids to climb. What would life be like without juicy peaches in the summer or green chiles to roast in the fall? If it weren’t for bees, none of those things would exist.
Although small, bees are mighty and have tremendously important work to do globally for the reproduction of 90 percent of the world’s wild plant species.
Yet, people should remember the important connection with natural foods, natural perfumes, flower fields and bees.
Bees are really too busy working to worry about people. In fact, the world’s population relies on bees to help grow about one-third of all its food. As professional pollinators, bees will fly to between 50 and 100 flowers in a single trip, foraging for pollen and nectar and faithfully returning to their hives. They are loyal and lifetime employees of Mother Nature.
Different projects are put in place by The International Perfume Foundation worldwide, among them, the return to Natural Perfumery and the replanting of all the fields of flowers and plants that have been replaced by a few multinationals creating synthetic perfumes.

The World Heritage Program is linked to IPF Research Center that centralises worldwide research while allowing the protection of the forest by its inhabitants in making them aware of its many resources and their use for their own growth.
The World Heritage Program The World Heritage Program involves initially studying the forest habitat and then teaching communities to grow, cultivate and harvest flowers, plants and herbs for their own benefit. The World Heritage Program is an example of the implementation of the principles of the CDB (Convention on biological diversity, Summit of Rio 1992). These projects are put in place in collaboration with local NGOs, International Institutions (IUCN, FAO, UNEP, UNESCO), local Universities and local Environment Ministries. All projects are built with the same pattern to be easily replicated. Project 1: Sustainable Aquilaria Planting - Protecting and replanting Aquilaria to preserve the highest quality Agarwood and Oud fragrance materials through sustainable farming of Aquilaria trees within Far East countries. Project 2: The Green Wall Africa - Supporting efforts made globally in replanting plants to slow the desert expansion due to climate change in Africa. Project 3: Gorilla Research Centre- Studying which plants and herbs gorillas smell and eat to heal themselves while allowing local population to develop awareness about land heritage, allowing them to grow plants and create their own wealth. Project 4: Malaysia Rainforest- studying the use of plants made by the Temiar People in the Temiar forest. These research centres, which will bring the opportunity to the region, are pilot projects and will be replicated in many part of the world to teach local population to protect their forest in showing them how precious they are for them, allowing them to develop sustainable products and services for their own benefits. |
