A group of villagers and a local nonprofit organization in Myanmar are recruiting a fleet of drones to help replant 2.7 million trees in an endangered ecosystem, according to a Fast Company report. The drones, built by BioCarbon Engineering, are capable of planting 100,000 trees in a single 24-hour period. This lets villagers focus more on growing the trees and keeping them healthy instead of on the painstaking task of individually planting them.
