Motivated by the disparity between advanced deforestation technology and stagnant tree planting methods, Bryce Jones founded Flash Forest. As Canada's first drone reforestation company, Flash Forest aims to create a practical, scalable solution to accelerate global reforestation and address the climate crisis.

Flash Forest's mission is to maximize carbon sequestration and restore ecosystems worldwide. CEO Bryce Jones envisions planting one billion trees by 2028, with continued efforts beyond this ambitious goal.

Bryce leads Flash Forest from Toronto, Ontario. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The Greater Virunga Landscape is a globally rich ecosystem, yet Uganda faces significant deforestation and rapid population growth. To counter these challenges, a forest landscape restoration

The Greater Virunga Landscape is a globally rich ecosystem, yet Uganda faces significant deforestation and rapid population growth. To counter these challenges, a forest landscape restoration project is scaling up efforts. The goal is to restore 120,000 hectares, up from 16,000, adjacent to protected areas.

This initiative partners with smallholder farmers, developing forest value chains for both socio-economic transformation and biodiversity conservation. WWF is crucial in this, creating sustainable business models to attract investment for tree planting, processing equipment, and conservation activities. These models will improve local livelihoods, ensure a sustainable timber supply, and protect vital primary forests.

On April 15, 2011, the indigenous Purepecha community of Cheran, Michoacan, Mexico, rebelled against organized crime, the logging industry, and corrupt government agencies. They used sticks, rocks, and bottle rockets to resist their "narco-government" that pillaged sacred forests.

Since then, Cheran has ousted all political parties and local/state police, seizing offices, weapons, and vehicles. The community re-established traditional self-governance, featuring a council of elders, a community police ("ronda"), and its "Guarda Bosques" (Forest Keepers) defense team.
