What is Smart forest?
Project O2 is a unique initiative in Europe with the aim of stopping the destructive trends of forest destruction, contributing to their protection through smart, socially driven plantings. By using drone that drop self-germinating packets, we ensure not only the growth of trees, but a complete healthy forest ecosystem.
When reforesting larger areas, it is not enough to sow or plant only trees - a forest is not a row of trees. In order for the forest ecosystem to function, all associated vegetation is needed, which supports each other and builds a natural habitat.
It is not enough to plant, it is important to plant wisely!

What is Biodiversity and why is it so important?
Biodiversity is one of the most precious and important assets we have. We tend to think of it as something that’s just nice to look at, but it’s vital for so much more. A diverse range of animals, plants, and microorganisms is crucial for maintaining the healthy ecosystems that provide us with clean air, food, water, and countless other benefits. Each species plays a unique role in supporting the intricate web of life that sustains our environment.
Currently, we are facing two interdependent environmental crises: the rapid loss of biodiversity and climate change. Forests are vanishing at an alarming rate, equivalent to losing 27 football fields every minute! This loss exacerbates climate change, creating a vicious cycle of environmental degradation and natural disasters. Without urgent action, we risk facing even more severe natural calamities.
At Project O2, our mission is to combat these crises by restoring habitats destroyed by human activity and natural disasters. Our drones can deploy SeedBombs even in the most remote areas that humans can hardly reach. The forests we plant are “smart biodiverse forests”, meaning we use species that have different roles in the ecosystem, such as nitrogen fixators and pioneer species that are carefully chosen by our scientific team to mimic natural succession in that area. Unlike monoculture forests that contribute to ecosystem degradation by increasing vulnerability to pests and diseases and depleting soil nutrients, our biodiverse forests serve as a dynamic habitat for a wide variety of animals and insect species, prevent soil erosion, and enhance water retention while supporting overall ecosystem health. By restoring these diverse habitats, we contribute to a more resilient and balanced environment, ensuring that our forests continue to thrive and sustain life for generations to come.
