100 million trees will be planted by 2024
. Like? Thanks to the “flock” of
Drones powered by artificial intelligence
. This is what will happen in
Australia
where startup AirSeed Technologies has developed technology to tackle the climate crisis and its consequences.
Effects that have been particularly severe in the country in recent years. just think of
Major fires in 2019-2020
who almost turned to ashes
20 million hectares
Millions and millions of tons of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. That’s why the startup, which has been battling deforestation for years, has deployed an army of drones capable of falling to the ground.
40,000 seeds per day
With
25 times faster speed
compared to traditional techniques.
The first stage of work is one
aerial mapping
From the territory to determine the best points at which the seeds are released, specially selected to be
compatible with home
. The seeds are in turn protected by a
Paint made from vegetable waste and rich in carbon
Which protects them from insects, birds and other animals. Small balls “launched” by the drone and stuck in the ground, a system that supports the seeds even during growth. This is thanks to the added nutrients, minerals and probiotics to the capable domains
Germination rate increased by 80%
. The coordinates of the new maps are then recorded by drones and by
Artificial intelligence
that monitors them, so you can check their status. This will facilitate the restoration of the most vulnerable habitats.
At present it has already been transplanted
50 thousand seeds
, but if the system is effective, there will certainly be more. Solve
Low cost and low environmental impact
To give new life to local forests.
