LABO FOREST

LABO PUTS DOWN ROOTS FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

 

Since 1986 Labo Suisse is specializing in dermo-cosmetics for skin and hair care, dedicating considerable resources to the research and development of innovative and patented cosmetic products that distributes worldwide thanks to a network of exclusive resellers (Labo is currently present in 42 countries).

Labo has always looked to the future with foresight and now wants to make that future more sustainable by joining a noble environmental project: LABO FOREST.

This project is a concrete demonstration of the company’s commitment to the environment and future generations. The Labo Suisse Forest is part of a path whose main objective is to reduce the environmental impact of its activities in a tangible, measurable and concrete way: reduction of plastic materials in packaging, use of recycled materials, awareness of proper disposal by consumers.

Labo Suisse programme aims to raise awareness of increasingly eco-compatible behaviour in internal processes and relations with partners, exclusive distributors and end consumers.

LABO FOREST is located in the Amazon Rainforest, the world’s largest rainforest, the “green lung” that is home to more biodiversity than any other tropical forest. The Amazon is the main habitat for millions of animal and plant species, as well as thousands of indigenous communities.

In 2017, it was reported that more than 20% of the entire Amazon Forest area had been cleared. In recent years the trend, unfortunately, seems not to have improved, mainly due to pressure from livestock and agricultural activities.

This is why the LABO FOREST was born, with the aim of restoring the landscapes of the Peruvian Amazon by strengthening local communities. The direct collaboration with farmers and indigenous communities helps to regenerate the forests and improve the resources and livelihoods available to the population.

The trees were planted in the area of the Tambopata National Reserve, one of the most important and vulnerable protected areas in the Madre de Dios region. Very close to the recently completed Interoceanic Highway and the regional capital of Puerto Maldonado, the reserve is home to many indigenous communities.
The project is located in the “buffer” zones of the municipal and national reserves of the Peruvian Amazon. In these border areas the human impact, if not linked to organic farming projects and sustainable land management, can have disastrous effects.
The trees belong to selected local species, some of which, unfortunately, are in danger of extinction. They are sown in nurseries where they germinate and grow before being transplanted. In this way, it is possible to recover, conserve and enhance biodiversity in the world’s largest forest.
