he Institut de France is a proud supporter of the Yves Rocher Foundation, a body that has been working to protect our planet's Tbiodiversity for over 20 years now. The Foundation pours its unique brand of energy into defending its causes, working in over 50 different countries to safeguard our planet and its flora. The resulting figures consolidate the visionary nature of the Foundation's projects. “Changing the world for the better!” is a slogan that actually does what it says: over 350 women have picked up a Terre de Femmes Award and over 65 million trees have been planted through the Plant for the Planet scheme. The Foundation is also a patron of heritage and culture, supporting historic gardens and photographers who use their chosen medium to express all the beauty of our planet. With the arrival of 2017 and its elections, remaining aware of new environmental challenges and their consequences has never been more pressing. Once again, the Yves Rocher Foundation-Institut de France took part in the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Marrakesh, 7-18 November 2016) to expand upon the measures adopted in Paris a year earlier. Drawing on the energy that drives the Yves Rocher Foundation-Institut de France, our institution is proud to lend its support to this initiative, in a natural VISIONARY extension of its academic expertise.

4 like to say that we are all earthly beings, in the sense that we all live on planet Earth, but also in the sense that we are all individuals co-existing Iwith nature, the source of all life. Yet in this contemporary world, our society is becoming increasingly disconnected from Mother Nature. We believe it is crucial to continue on our path of supporting pro-active, committed individuals working for the common good in France and further afield. The four programmes we run are proof of our unwavering commitment to the cause. – Terre de Femmes showcased the work of determined, solidarity- fostering women in nine countries in 2016. The Terre de Femmes Award's 15th anniversary, celebrated in 2016, was an opportunity to bolster this network of active communities. – Our Plant for the Planet programme is a long-term commitment to planting trees, symbols of our human roots in the earth. In 2016, we planted over 65 million trees, and our goal is to have planted 100 million by the end of 2020. – The Photography, People & Nature scheme allows us to suspend time through photographers' lenses. In 2016, Phil Moore was awarded the Yves Rocher Foundation-Visa photography prize with a view to supporting his research into the Polygon nuclear test site in Kazakhstan. – With Plants & Biodiversity, we are aiming to protect plant species that are unique and vital to us all. We support a number of different gardens, RETURNING we attend various biodiversity-themed conferences and we work towards protecting plant species: all illustrations of our commitment to the cause. © Patrick Wallet © Patrick TO EARTH This was the case in 2016, when we chose to support Brest's Conservatoire Botanique National in its work in protecting Ekman's juniper in Haiti. Jacques Rocher Honorary Chair of the Yves Rocher The Yves Rocher Foundation's role is to take sustainable action to leave a Foundation-Institut de France positive footprint on our planet, working on behalf of nature and humans alike. I'm thrilled to share this common goal with Gabriel de Broglie, Chancellor of the Institut de France, our directors, the Yves Rocher Foundation team, and our many supporters across the globe.
