IDE1 SoloX, Nature-Inspired Forest Restoration After Wildfire
06/2024
By strategically placing EcoResilience Seed Pods in the habitats of forest animals, this project harnesses their natural foraging activities to position seeds across the forest floor*.
These pods feature a heat-resistant outer layer to protect seeds during wildfires and are made from shape memory biodegradable materials that release the seeds into nutrient-rich soil after a fire, ensuring immediate seed dispersal and germination to accelerate forest recovery.
