About Us

Association Pour la Terre, a French non-profit association since 2001, is dedicated to preserving and protecting our planet through active participation in projects ranging from environmental protection to educating impressionably aged children in principles of Sustainable Development through the production of artists for CDs, DVDs, musical productions, and related School Kits as part of UNESCO's Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.

Our association has been given a specific tax status under the French Tax Code, enabling donations and funds to be tax deductible. Our Association is also officially deemed “ agrée pour l’ environnement”, an honored recognition for efforts performed in the service of the environment, issued by the Préfecture (Government Council.)

Pour la Terre's immediate concern is the education of our children in the principles embodied within the UNESCO-adopted Earth Charter (http://www.earthcharter.org) and has been acting for several years with the endorsements of the Secretary General of UNESCO and the Earth Charter Secretariat to produce CDs, School Kits, and other multimedia presentations for distribution throughout the world as part of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). To date we have produced six UNESCO CDs, the first of which (double CD with 21 songs) is freely available for download, with school kit, to over 7600 UNESCO teaching facilities in over 183 countries.

In addition to UNESCO, Earth Charter International, WWF-France and Association Agora Energy/Planète Art Energie, Pour la Terre is now endorsed by the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Foundation Sophia-Antipolis, Association Art et Environnement and others as explained in our Welcome page. Association Pour la Terre is also proud to have recently been accepted as a member of the French Alliance.

Production for the Billion Tree CD and School Kit and “A Tree for Peace; A Tree for the Earth” CD and School Kit has commenced.

Our Monaco Lions Club/UNESCO H20 CD and School Kit, freely distributed to 1500 school children in October 2006, was an acknowledged success, and we look forward to similar projects planned for Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and hopefully throughout the world.
