Klorane – body care with respect for nature

For more than 20 years, Klorane and the Klorane Botanical Foundation have been committed to the conservation of botanical heritage around the world.

The wild peony has a complex breeding cycle, and because it is harvested too much in the wild in China, it is endangered. This is especially true of the species Raeonia sterniana H.R. Fletcher, of which only about 500 specimens remain today.

Based on their general knowledge, the Chinese Botanical Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and the Korane Botanical Foundation are studying the so-called “seed dormancy phenomenon” and methods for propagating and transplanting endangered Chinese peony species using in vitro techniques. cultivation.

The initiative aims to ensure the planting and return of wild peony to my natural environment by helping to conserve biodiversity.
