A project using drones to disperse tree seeds could "revolutionise" the expansion of rainforests in South West England.

The Woodland Trust says 75,000 seeds have been scattered on hills which would be inaccessible for human planting by hand.

The drones, which seeded 11 hectares of land around Bodmin in eight hours, scattered tree seeds native to rainforests, including pedunculate oak, alder, wild cherry, downy birch and hazel.

If you are caught cutting down the Amazon Rainforest illegally, chances are you will get off without being required to pay for the environmental damage. According to a recent report, only 5% of offenders have paid court-ordered fines for deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.

"Amazon rainforest cut down to build highway for COP climate summit"
bbc.com/news/articles/c9vy191r

Edit: some answers point that COP is probably not the only reason for this highway project to go through. Regardless of that, I would say COP should use its power to block the highway ASAP, instead of (apparently) encouraging it.

Although I grew up on a tropical island, it was in Brazil that I first saw a papaya tree in person. There's something truly magical about being able to walk outside and pluck an exotic fruit straight from the source. Mother Nature's farm-to-table service at its finest!

Evidence for #Homosapiens in #rainforest -- or 'wet tropical forest' -- environments from 150,000 years ago.

'While rainforests had previously been thought of as a barrier for our ancient relatives, new research suggests that some Homo sapiens were living in them from at least 150,000 years ago.

Ancient humans might have been living in rainforests for more than twice as long as expected.

Stone tools found in Cote d’Ivoire suggest that some Homo sapiens were living in the rainforests of western Africa over 150,000 years ago. This is tens of thousands of years earlier than the previous record for rainforest-dwelling humans.'

In this second-person meditation on the Hoh Rain Forest of Olympic National Park, I contemplate its proliferation of abundant life. The forest becomes a patient guide for me, a moss-embroidered forest of wisdom, lined with ferns and storied over with trees older than memory. It asks nothing of us. Its only purpose is life itself.

This lush, layered tapestry of green is something no digital screen could ever truly capture. Standing there, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, the Amazon whispers secrets that only those present can hear.

In this vlog, Adriana and Fredy bring you up to speed on how we've been developing our project headquarters in the Ecuadorian Amazon and other events that have taken place around our land this year!"

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
We are embarking on a new journey. To help protect the most biodiverse place on Earth.
Our new project, led by our own team of biologists, will aim to protect and restore rainforest in the buffer zone of the Yasuní National Park. Located in the Amazon region of Ecuador, this rainforest is home to the highest concentration of species on the planet.
We have laid the cornerstone by purchasing 140 hectares of forest that borders the national park, securing its protection and establishing a base for our project. Together with members of the local community and local experts, we will develop solutions to stop forest degradation and kick-start forest regeneration in the area.
