Staff on the ground equip the drones with the start-up's proprietary seed pods, containing locally-sourced tree seed, minerals, nutrients and helpful bacteria and fungi. From the air, the pods are ejected over burned-out sites, so they can plant a biodiverse range of trees in target areas, including in remote spots.
The start-up has already planted 1.5 million trees and aims to hit 5.5 million by mid-2024 and 1 billion worldwide by 2030. (The company plans to expand into the United States this spring.)
