About Coral Guardian
Coral Guardian is a solidarity and environmental NGO, dedicated to the preservation of coral reefs and their ecosystems. Created in 2010 by Martin Colognoli et Guillaume Holzer, Coral Guardian combines complementary skills and a shared passion for marine ecosystems in order to help local populations and fishermen (in Indonesia) in preserving our environment, generate it by transplanting corals and creates virtuous economy around this key natural system.About Circulab
Circulab was born in analogy to the Aboriginal and unusual bird: the bower bird. In order to seduce the female, the male bird builds nests that it meticulously decorates by collecting all the resources at its disposal. It uses dried grass, twigs and even plastic caps or straws. The bowerbird recovers and transforms into opportunities the plastic that we consider to be waste.
Like this creative bird, the strategy agency and circular design studio Circulab ingeniously combines the economy and nature to help companies reduce their costs and build user loyalty through an approach based on differentiation and commitment.
Through the concept of circular design, Circulab and the Circulab community identify best market opportunities, transform waste into resources and create closed and local loops.
