Saving Rainforests - New Innovation
Global Award Winning Biodegradable Planter
Invention of Two Brazilian Brothers
Replanting and saving tropical rainforests have proved very costly and laborious. But that may be changing. Two Brazilian brothers have invented a biodegradable planter that can do it on its own. Their device is inspired by nature. The planter maintains and grows seedlings all by itself with no human intervention. It is the top award winner of the 2018 Global Design Challenge.
Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil
Brothers Pedro and Bruno Rutman grew up near Brazil's Atlantic Forest, which is one of the world's most biodiverse places. Only 7% of the original forest remains. The brothers are nature enthusiasts and sportsmen who spend a lot of time there. They have used their artistic, design, business and entrepreneurial skills to invent the Nucleario planter.
Mimics Nature
The planter mimics some of the features of the rainforest's own species to help the saplings grow. The seed planter can be dropped by helicopter or drone. It gathers and dispenses water, while keeping away harmful creatures like leafcutter ants. Nucleario expects to commercialize the planter in six months and make it available globally.
