But it can take several hours of hiking to reach some of the eroded areas. Meanwhile, with climate change, the island is getting hit by The fires, most often set by deer poachers to clear vegetation and make it easier to spot prey, have done the most harm, Concepcion and others say. “You walk this whole area and realize, ‘Oh, maybe 20 acres ain’t that easy in a terrain like this,’” Concepcion said.For now, the GROW team is primarily using one drone for its seeding experiments, with the hope of expanding the program to include an entire fleet of seed-sowing devices.
“We’re trying to get smarter drones,” Ritter said. “If the point is to scale it up so that we can have multiple drones flying at one time, they need to be more intelligent.”
