For 25 years the Klorane Botanical Foundation has been on a botanical mission to preserve and promote plant heritage by sharing botanical knowledge around the world.
It is a foundation that empowers all citizens to become pathfinders for change through botany and brings green spaces back to our cities and lives. Because today more than ever, with over half of the world’s population living in cities, our founder, Mr. Pierre Fabre’s vision has taken on its full meaning; TO SOW THE SEEDS OF BOTANICAL PASSION ALL OVER THE WORLD.

To protect the ecosystem of the Cévennes National Park, the Foundation is helping to detoxify its polluted rivers and wells through phytoremediation, decontamination using plants. Filtration columns with Aquatic mint root powder were installed upstream and live Aquatic mint was planted along the river banks. After a few months, samples of downstream water showed a 17x decrease in pollutants.
