Japan has begun deploying AI-powered drones to accelerate reforestation efforts, particularly in areas affected by wildfires and deforestation.
These drones are equipped with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and AI mapping systems that allow them to scan landscapes in real-time, identifying the most fertile locations based on soil quality, moisture levels, and terrain features.
Once optimal spots are located, the drones release biodegradable seed pods that contain not just seeds, but also essential nutrients and symbiotic fungi (mycorrhizae) to help plants thrive.
This method is reportedly up to 10 times faster than traditional manual planting, with each drone capable of planting over 300 pods per flight and covering the area of a football field in under an hour.
Furthermore, the drones operate in swarms and can recharge using solar-powered stations, making them a scalable and eco-friendly solution for reforestation.
Initial tests in places like Kumamoto, Japan, have demonstrated over 80% seed germination rates, indicating both efficiency and ecological viability.
This technology, developed by engineers in Kyoto, reflects a growing global interest in automated ecological restoration, blending robotics, AI, and sustainability.
