“We prioritize biodiversity, so we try to plant species that are native to the land, as opposed to monocultures… We work with local seed banks and we also take into account that climate change is causing temperatures to rise, considering what the climate will be like in five to eight years when these trees are older and more mature, and how that will affect them,” says Angelique Ahlstrom. After the company launched in late 2019, a small team had a working prototype by mid-year.
They launched a pilot test, followed by larger tests, and lithuania number data Ahlstrom says they have seen high survival rates in controlled trials and hope to replicate it in the real world. After planting near Toronto and British Columbia, the in Hawaii later this year, where it plans to plant 300,000 trees. It also plans to pilot tree planting in Australia, Colombia, and Malaysia.
And then comes the Amazon! Planting a trillion trees quickly is a goal that some researchers have estimated could store more than 200 gigatons of carbon. Trees need to grow for 10-20 years before they can effectively store carbon, so to address climate change by mid-century, trees need to grow as fast as possible. "I think drones and technology are essential to achieving the kind of goals we're looking at.
