The “Cladonia Asahinae”collection is inspired by a species of lichen commonly found in forested areas, known for its vital role in monitoring air quality. Sensitive to air pollution, the presence or absence of Cladonia Asahinae serves as a natural indicator of the health of an ecosystem.

Beyond its ecological importance, this lichen has been found to possess antibacterial properties, making it a potential source for new antibiotics. However, like many otherlichens, Cladonia Asahinae is vulnerable to environmental changes and habitat loss caused by human activities such as deforestation and pollution. This highlights the need for the protection and conservation of this remarkable species and its habitat.
