In statement Alok he said:

My tour brings a planetary urgent message to the preservation and recovery of native forests. We unite traditional knowledge of planting with drones use – so present in my shows – for monitoring and sowing. There is nothing more technological than the trees and the wisdom of nature. Planting is taking care of our home. ”

THE Golden forest integrates the program Forests of the Futurefrom the SOS Atlantic Forestwhich unites civil society, landowners, private initiative and public power in restoration actions with native species. The project will work in:

• Anhembi and Barra Bonita (SP): 18,500 seedlings will be planted in 7.4 hectares of permanent preservation areas (APPs), currently occupied by invasive grasses.
• Barreiro Rico Ecological Station (SP): Experimental, drones will be used for direct sowing in an area of ​​4 hectares impacted by fire for four years.

“The project will operate in municipalities with extremely reduced remaining coverage of Atlantic Forest – only 0.67% in Anhembi and 1.26% in Barra Bonita. In addition to expanding these areas, we will test the use of drones as a restoration technique, which can mean a cost reduction in the future,” he explains, “he explains Rafael Bitte FernandesForest Restoration Manager of SOS Atlantic Forest.
