the <strong>protection of biodiversity<\/strong>.<br \/>\nSo far the Yves Rocher Foundation has awarded 350 women and their projects.<\/p>\n<p>The projects can really look like utopic ideas at first and this is exactly where the concrete female approach becomes the keypoint.<br \/>\nOzg\u00fcl Ozt\u00fcrk, a Turkish architect, dreamt of bringing the old village of his father, Nimri, back to life.<br \/>\nIt looked like a nostalgic dream: the village had started a slow but continuous process of depopulation and abandon since the 50s.<br \/>\nShe started studying the area and its resources, she met with local people and networked with cities in the district.<br \/>\nThey created an association and even planed 60,000 pine trees to help the agricultural recover.<br \/>\nWhat happened?<br \/>\nThe social and economic environment has restrenghtened so far and the community has now launched a cultural festival.<\/p>\n<h2>The award categories of the Yves Rocher
