<strong>Your participation and contribution will help to educate citizens and associations to reproduce seeds locally .</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>1/3 of the collected funds will help to create 200 ambassadors</strong> originated from the main movements and associations committed to save biodiversity. Those ambassadors will commit themselves to pass on their knowledge to 50 persons in the year.* Those ambassadors will receive a free 4 days formation in the Conservatory of Sainte Marthe, in Sologne, in the center of France. Here they will learn all secrets of reproducing and conserving seeds.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>1/3 of the funds will be dedicated to create tutorial on-line free videos</strong>. This content will be produced in partnership with SIKANA Nature and the trainers of the Sainte-Marthe's farm. All the methods of reproduction and conservation of seeds will be illustrated so that they will democratize this knowledge.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>1/3 of the collected funds will help to save 150 endangered vegetable and fruit varieties.</strong> These seeds will be distributed to the ambassadors « seeds of life ». * 200 ambassadors who will train 50 qualified people = 10 000 people</p>
