Onagrine is committed and takes action!

For biodiversity

Biodiversity is at the heart of our creations

In our products we use a large number of plants – around 100 of them, from rich and varied environments. We are particularly interested in the flora of extreme environments where we source extremophilic plants. We analyse the plants that are used in traditional beauty rituals around the world.

Nature is a source of beauty. Its richness, generosity and intelligence amaze us.

Biodiversity is in crisis

We are currently experiencing a sixth mass extinction, the previous one having wiped out the dinosaurs.

44,000 of the 157,200 species studied are classified as threatened with extinction, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2023 Red List.

Onagrine is a partner of Planète Urgence

We aim to reduce our environmental impact. But in the face of the global challenge, we wanted to go further and take action for the forests and biodiversity, together with the association Planète Urgence. This French NGO works to preserve plant resources by pursuing three missions:

To protect endangered forests and biodiversity
To promote local community development
To raise awareness of the environment

Why forests?

Because they host 80% of terrestrial species worldwide! And because they play a fundamental role in absorbing the CO₂ that causes global warming. Even so, it is estimated that the world loses the equivalent of 30 football pitches of tropical rainforest every minute. It is therefore necessary to take care of them.

Reforestation is at the heart of Planète Urgence’s actions, which focus on tropical areas as a priority. These regions, some of the most endangered, are home to ecosystems that capture the most carbon, as is the case with the Amazon rainforest and the mangroves. And for each euro received, Planète Urgence plants one tree, resulting in…

3,200,000 trees planted in 2023!

Cameroun

Reforestation of cashew orchards
Creation of wildlife corridors

Bénoué National Park is one of the oldest protected areas in Cameroon. It is under significant human pressure: increased population growth, conflict-related migration, activities that threaten biodiversity. Planète Urgence is working to restore this degraded ecosystem.

Indonesia

Restoration of the mangroves, home to the last remaining white rhinos
Planting of 250,000 mangroves and other coastal species

Planète Urgence takes action to preserve the mangroves on the coasts of Ujung Kulon Park in Java, which have suffered massive degradation as a result of the conversion of land into habitats, the development of infrastructure and the establishment of the tourism and fishing industries. In particular, this park is home to the last remaining Java rhinos.

Madagascar

Restoration of the tapia forest ecosystem
Support for local development

The tapia forest, one of the remarkable ecosystems on Madagascar, plays a key role in ecology: preservation of water sources, protection of soils against erosion, and abundant biodiversity. It provides vital resources for the local communities.
