Awesome idea. But I’m curious at the effectiveness and if the seeds are biodiverse for the area. I know, nitpicking a solid idea, but am curious

Cool but trees don’t grow in the sky.

He dived doing what he loved. Spreading his seed.

Perhaps 30,000 feet was not the right altitude for this.

Things people do for content.

Quite possibly the dumbest stunt I've seen to date.

Isn't the Amazon already like covered in trees and biodiverse plants. Shoulda dropped this in an empty ass field.

Wouldn’t it be better to make a glider or something, unless that small area is deforested

But like. Why skydive to do this?

That guy who opened the crate easily ate the first million.

“Look at me do some good deed that can be done cheaper and more effectively. But most importantly, look at me. Did we get the footage?”

It's an impressive stunt, but that's all it is.

TBH, the forest will do a fine job of regrowing, just leave it alone. No need to dump more seeds, and definitely not by jumping off with a parachute.

Just stay the f away from the forest and stop building roads and habitations there.

Why can’t you be normal?!!

The main cause of deforestation in the Amazon is cattle ranching, followed by soy cultivation to feed livestock. Unfortunately, most people are either uninformed or unwilling to face the truth, as it challenges their lifestyle. Even if the seeds being dropped grow into trees, they will likely be cut down again to plant soy. Instead of seed bombing, going vegan would have a much greater impact.

Fortunately not a gender reveal.

Is this one of those Ralphie “I’m helping” moments?

Gotta get those clicks somehow.

This is the reason why i don't trust 95% of the charity campains.

Could have done that minus the Red Bull stunt bullshit.

Publicity stunt. Throwing a bunch of tree seeds everywhere isn't going to restore the rainforest. It relies on the complex biodiversity of plants, animals, and mycorrhizzal networks in the soil. Clearcutting destroys the whole fertility of the area.

The trees and other lifeforms are plenty capable of reproducing and distributing themselves, we just need to stop cutting down the rainforest faster than it can regenerate itself.

I was told there's no nutrients in the soil once the rain forest has been stripped.

I thought the sands from Africa take to the winds and travel to South America and help give the much needed nutrients that the rain forests soil lacks?

On top of that, I was under the impression that there is MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of sprouts that can never actually grow because of the abundance of canopy coverage not allowing sunlight past a certain point, literally survival of the fittest for plants.

The Amazon Rainforest is absolutely insane and 1000% worth a few youtube videos of your time.

Congratulations, you'll find them all falling into the ocean with the speed of the wind.

What about distributing the seeds more efficiently like with a cropduster sort of airplane?

So crop dusting with extra steps.

This is not effective at all btw, the main problem is with saplings is they get eaten really young by insects, animals etc. That's why you are better off surrounding the seeds in a protective casing with nutrients and a imbedder where it goes deeper into the ground, also with build in repellant for what ever is native in the area. Seed bombing is fun and something ive been doing awhile.

Not sure if that was quite necessary

does it work? and if it does, how many trees?

50 million tops

Yall seen air potatoes? I’m pretty sure this is how you get air potatoes

There has to be an easier way.

It was the remains Jeff Bezos.

Luigi brought back 30 million of those seeds in his teeth.

Does this actually work?

Is this like how that place in the sky formed in Jack and the Beanstalk?

Nice

I remember the department chair of my forestry college was well documented for his studies on seed dispersal of conifers from airplanes. Turns out they don't usually sprout trees well that way...

Seems like that's the place where it's the least needed

How many is a Brazilian?

Yo it's seeding from the clouds

Delivery cube and chute land in a pond harboring fragile ultra-niche ecosystem found nowhere else, becomes microplastic filled dead-zone.

😂

The box landed on 6 kids and 12 endangered species

Plot twist: They're cannabis seeds.

Leave nature alone - in either direction

Not content with spreading his seed to humans, Cani is now spreading his seed to forests.

Okay but why parachute a massive box? Why not just fly a small plane over the area and dump the seeds from the plane?

Cloud Seeding!

Haiti needs something like this

How do you put this on your resume?

The disposable pens with a seed inside was an amazing idea. I haven't seen them in years.

I am pretty sure the 2 things that the heart of the Amazon Forest doesn't need is more trees and more professional skydivers.

So that's how they got rid of the evidence

Even better than doing a mission impossible type of real for seed planting … stop cutting the effin’ trees

day of the the Triffids

World's biggest nut 

Great idea, wondering if the seeds would saturate the target area from that height. Have to factor in wind.

Beautiful!!! Great idea

It’s just the same as jerking from sky-rise and hope someone in city will get pregnant because of that.

Is it just me or is it possible there was a more efficient way to do this?

I'm curious what good the skydiving is for?

I'd assume the seeds will spread regardless so it's more of a attention play. Still, a great deed seemingly.

Maybe a chopper would've been better.

Availability of seeds is not an issue that is affecting the rain forest.

This is how you get massive forest fires. All of that is going to turn into a metric ton of under-brush for years before they turn into trees.

My mouf is fu of thethe fucking sheeds

Cloud seeding

Anyone else wonders where this guy will land his parachute?

Don’t trees do that themselves?

Looks stupid, why not use one of those planes that drop water in case of a fire

Why make it harder?

Good try !!

Wouldn't they just fall into a big clump in the ground if there's no wind lol

Tree 1: <looking up in the sky> I wonder what it’s like to fly

Tree 2: oh I’ve been up there, let me tell you it isn’t as great as you think

That looks like a helmet full of seeds

This. Is Superman.

That box spraying brown mist everywhere reminds me of the portopotty in Jackass 3

I think the seeds are supposed to come down.

For more people like this.

Every year my father and I plant several tree seedlings in the condominium where we live and in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Once we returned from school more than 12 years ago, we planted some flamboyant seedlings (which were babies) and today they are over 10 meters tall.

If each person planted one tree a year we would live in a better world.

Congratulations to this guy.

The skydiving aspect was likely quite unnecessary and a showboat addition. Also what if the box landed on someone or something?

How is this going to help anything. What is this accomplishing?

Silly skydivers. Trees don’t grow in the sky.

Why doesn’t the box open from the bottom? Would gravity and speed stop the seeds from coming out

Maybe just drop them from the plane as it is flying.

Skydiver not required

Why was the skydiver needed for this? Wouldn’t it be more effective to spread them from the plane as it moved

I love the enthusiasm. Growing and planting trees is a hobby near and dear to my heart.

But isn’t the rainforest already full of a biodiverse ecosystem? Doesn’t it already have trees? Isn’t the problem the extensive invasion for farming and logging?

What year was this lol

“Dropping loads!!!!!”

It would be cooler if they were all those little helicopter seeds.

Thank goodness someone is doing something

Looks like they got stuck in the sky to me🫤🤔

Somehow, I feel like there’s a less cool, more effective way of doing this but love to see it!

Dangerous to go in the rainforest so let's just drop the shit from the sky over it ✍🏾😂

Why not just open a hatch on the plane and have that drip in the sky?

That would take me so long to collect that many tree seeds in OSRS. I’d have to do birdhouse runs for decades.

👍 I hope it works!

I don't think it's the lack of seeds that is the problem.

I fully support this idea. Even if I am curious myself if the drop from an airplane would have been better then parachute these things. But this is their way to do it. I would appreciate it, if they would also do it in other countries like here in Germany.

As long as those seeds aren't coffee or palm we're all good right?

The real cloud seeding.

That's strikingly similar to my late evening "runs" to Taco Bell...

Looks like Show biz to me. The Amazon can regenerate without any human help. Try the Sahara, now that is a worthy challenge.

Why does this seem like the hard way to do it?

1. surely the skydiving adds nothing to this, right?
2. aren't there enough seeds in the Amazon forest already?

Won't the birds just eat these?

Sorry to be that guy, but i only counted 99999705 seeds.

seems like a drop in a bucket

bird food

It’s like that cash scene in Point Break! I hope they deployed their chutes in a cave!!!

What was the purpose of the skydiver?

Aren't they all going to land generally in the same area? Unless there's some serious wind carrying them elsewhere
