SORROW-LESS
TREE
Saraca dives
According to legend, the Queen of the Jiapiluowei Kingdom (2500 years
before today), gave birth to Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, under
this tree.
No wonder this tree was treasured sacred by Buddhists although it can
not often be found nowadays anymore. The color of its golden-orange
flowers is copied in the Buddhist monks cloth.

Your
ecologically friendly flower production:
proudly traceable!
Imagine, the traceability of your supply chain leads your
customers to the tropical jungles of the Mekong river and to the Himalayan
mountains where Tibet meets Yunnan. Immerged in diverse culture and rich
biodiversity, your customers can visit the places and people where your
organic products start from pristine soils, clean air, and where they
support the livelihood of local ethnic communities.
Would this add to the sustainability and credibility of your company?
Would your trademark benefit from international
research publications lauding your company's involvement in saving the
rain forest?
If you are in the food, cosmetics, flower, herbal, and medical business,
certifying your products as contributing to rain forest and biodiversity
protection will be an advantage with a competitive edge.
The TianZi Biodiversity Centre is working with German Universities to
design land use systems, which are bound to change paradigms: we promote
rare agro-biodiversity species, manage complexity, and find alternatives
to destructive forms of mono culture.
If all this is in line with your company's business concept - please contact
us.
The TianZi Team.
