Created by Denise TOURET after her trip to China in January 2001, the France-Yuoclund Foundation organises in collaboration with the G.R.A.A.L.L. (Rural action group for leisure and artistic liberation) the encounters with "The Messengers from Yuoclund" for protection and promotion of Yuoclund and the Yuocmyn culture.

Since the global warming, the glaciers protecting Yuoclund are melting, thus throwing this pacific population straight into the third millennium. On the border of China and Mongolia, Yuoclund is under important politic pressure. The fact that Frenchman Martin TOURET (first discoverer and defender of Yuoclund) was arrested and then disappeared from the Tacheng jail, shows the will of the Chinese authorities to end all attempts to protect the plateau and its inhabitants.
The Yuocs’s glandular system gives off a whitish and smelly liquid called purfun. This substance carefully collected by the Yuocmyns seems to have anti-ageing properties. Some drug laboratories drawn by possible financial benefits, would like to push Yuocmyns to mass purfun production. The rise of consumerism spirit among this society based on donation will endanger Yuoclund’s frail balance.
Drawn by a new exotic destination some travellers are already trying to go to Yuoclund as explorers, opening the way to mass tourism.

• To protect Yuoclund and its people.

• To compile and publish Martin TOURET’ notes and drawings.
A true mine of information, these notes and drawings must be collected to allow the publication and distribution of a thematic journal.

• To find out more about Yuocmyn culture and philosophy.
Through ambulatory encounters, exhibits and conferences, The French Yuoclund Foundation proposes to create a relationship with Yuoclund, in order to discover a prehistoric culture where relations between man and its environment are bound together by survival, interdependence and therefore respect.

• To find out what happened to Martin TOURET.
What happened between the moment that he sent his notes and his drawings from the Tacheng’s jail in January 2000 and his disappearance from there before Denise TOURET’s visit in October 2001? Local authorities lack interest in this subject.
