For 20 years, friends, employees, volunteers and administrators have worked to give life to this Mediterranean garden imagined and designed by landscape designer Gilles Clément. It is an experimental project of environmental protection and local development. 20 years later, one million visitors come to Rayol every year, from the New Zealand prairie sedge to the Chilean puyas hills or the fern-tree valley: the garden of Rayol is an assortment of species borrowed from the Mediterranean flora, and a unique combination of landscapes emblematic of far-away regions… a global garden. |

Laurence Malherbe |
| The book charts the mission of a landscape artist over three years at the northern tip of Belle-Ile-en-Mer. The study, commissioned by the Coastal National Conservatory and the Community of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, involved development and protection of an exceptional natural site; rehabilitation of the lighthouse and estate of the former actress Sarah Bernhardt; as well as a museum. | The islands, with their rich and specific ecosysytem, are a precious shared Mediterrannean heirloom. A safe heaven for many rare or threatened species, they find themeselves at the heart of a grand endeavour: the protection of bio diversity. Therefore, the Littoral conservatory found itself at the center of this reflexion by managing the International Program for Mediterrannean Small Islands (PIM) since 2006: missions and on-site meetings, it is an in-depth effort to promote the durable management of these fragile milieux.

Restoration of "l’anse des Paulilles" (Paulille's cove) Philippe Deliau |
|
Prostitution in Phnom Penh Nicolas Lainez
|
| "L'anse des Paulilles" ... a site of great beauty and considerable ambiguity. Here was once a Nobel explosives factory, in other words, a world apart, inaccessible.

Since 2005, under the direction of the Coastal Protection and the General Council of Pyrénées Orientales Agency, landscape architect Philippe Deliau led the "collective effort of creation" that has revived Paulilles' cove: an ambitious mission to preserve a natural site and make it accessible to the public, without obliterating the human history of which is also a place of memory. | The eye of photographer Nicolas Lainez on the working conditions of local teams of Pharmacists Without Borders, dealing with prostitution in Cambodia.
After studying cinema and photography, Nicolas Lainez decides to embark in 1999 in a South-East Asia project reporting on human trafficking, sexual exploitation and AIDS. He takes images for NGOs, foundations, and international institutions. |
