In 2022, Brazilian skydiver Luigi Cani embarked on an ambitious environmental mission to combat deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. Leveraging his expertise, Cani executed a meticulously planned skydive over a deforested area, releasing 100 million seeds from 27 native tree species. This initiative aimed to promote reforestation and restore biodiversity in the affected region. The project involved five years of preparation, including obtaining necessary permits, designing a biodegradable seed-dispersal box, and coordinating precise logistics to ensure effective seed distribution. Cani’s innovative approach highlights the potential of combining extreme sports with environmental activism to address pressing ecological challenges.
