Projectdetails

Introduction

At the current deforestation rate, it is estimated that there will be no forests left in between 100 to 200 years. As such, restoring woodlands has become a priority for nations but remains a massive challenge worldwide.

Challenges in Forest Restoration

Destruction is easy, but forest restoration has inherent problems of:

  1. Scale
  2. Speed
  3. Efficiency
  4. Cost

The modest results of massive reforestation projects show that the current state-of-the-art solutions cannot get the job done fast enough.

Digitalization in Forestry

Forestry is significantly behind, compared to other sectors, in digitalization, precision, and efficiency.

Forest Maker Solution

Forest Maker is a new-generation integrated automated planter platform—an all-in-one solution that performs the entire planting and data collection process without stopping. It is guided by software for the creation of a digital twin of the forest for precise and easy management.
