A unique collaboration that leverages A-list female beauty to conserve the earth’s beautiful and threatened marine environments is being launched in March at upscale cosmetics counters around the world.
CREATING AWARENESS TOGETHER
The Pew Institute for Ocean Science (www.pewoceanscience.org), which conducts and sponsors vital research in global marine conservation, is pleased to announce that high-end Chantecaille Beaute cosmetics company will donate five percent of the proceeds of its gorgeous new “Protected Paradise” compacts to support vital marine science research and conservation efforts. Specifically, the funds will support the Institute’s Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation program, which provides five $150,000 awards to ocean experts around the world each year to develop solutions to critical ocean challenges. The Fellowship is widely considered to be the Nobel Prize of marine conservation.
The heads of both institutions are strong, adventurous, and innovative New Yorkers with an innate appreciation for beauty and a passion to preserve it. Dr. Ellen Pikitch, Executive Director of the Pew Institute, is a leading conservation biologist who with her research team pursues cutting-edge research used to conserve beautiful, valuable, and threatened marine ecosystems. Dr. Pikitch swims with sharks and affixes their fins with satellite tags as part of her research, and has traveled to every continent as part of her scientific exploration. Sylvie Chantecaille, owner and founder of Chantecaille Beaute, was born in France and is a devoted environmentalist and successful international businesswoman.
