Only days after an Australian start-up company announced a machine that could fight deforestation came news that Bolsonaro's Brazil has excelled itself in reducing the Amazon rain forest.
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has surged to a new record for the month of April, official data showed, as environmental rights advocates continue to slam President Jair Bolsonaro’s policies for accelerating the crisis.
Amazon deforestation totalled 1,012.5sq km (390sq miles) from April 1 to 29, according to data from the national space research agency INPE released on Friay. The agency will report data for the final day of the month next week.
In a technical fix which seems too good to be true,
Using a fleet of highly advanced 'octocopters', AirSeed Technology is fighting deforestation by combining artificial intelligence with specially designed seed pods which can be fired into the ground from high in the sky.
"Each of our drones can plant over 40,000 seed pods per day and they fly autonomously," says Andrew Walker, CEO and co-founder of AirSeed Technologies.
"In comparison to traditional methodologies, that's 25 times faster, but also 80 per cent cheaper."
