Drones could regreen the world

Drone technology, coupled with native seeds coated, can transform the efficiency with which we restore ecosystems.

We are running a Crowdfunding campaign!

One of the most effective ways to mitigate climate change and restore the health of our ecosystems is reforestation. To speed up this process we invented Dronecoria; an open source set of tools for large scale, low cost reforestation.

Our Campaign

Appropriate Open Source Technologies

The society has efficient machines for deforestation, but we lack the necessary technologies for ecological restoration.

We developed a technology updated to the 21st century, which allows professionals, governments and companies to make efficient reforestations of high value, low cost, building a community around them forming a new economy of ecological restoration.

Territory analysis

Locate the perfect spot for each seed.

We make every seed in a winner. Deep knowledge learned from nature, optimizing the survival capacity of each specie depending on each location.

Learning from the landscape

Aerial sowing

Sow at low cost

Drones cover 1 ha in 10 minutes. They carry up to half million of seeds in each flight. Sow them accurately or dose an exact amount per square meter at low cost.

Our OpenSource Drone

Pelletized seeds

Survival otimization

Coating can exponentially increase the survival of each seed, protecting it from predators and capturing moisture for germination.

Climate Action Challenge Winners

We were one of the ideas selected from 384 designers from 70 countries to mitigate climate change.

Our proposal

Artificial LIFE Award

In 2015 we won the international Art and Artificial Life competition of the Telefónica Foundation, with which we made the first prototypes of seed dispersal and were able to evolve the proof of concept, and pelletized seeds with microorganisms.
