Startup Aims To Plant 1 Billion Trees By 2028 Using Drones That Transport And Plant Seed Pods

We are losing the oldest species on earth at the rate of 7 billion trees per year.

It won’t stop deforestation but it will slow climate change and narrow the gap in the race to restore the planet’s breathing mechanism.
