Although our drones can drop for instance 2000 mangrove germinated seeds in 10 minutes and about 500 seedballs in the same time (more if flown in drone swarms), what is most important to us and leads to our success is that we take an ecologically led approach throughout each of the project phases rather than focusing on the drone and drop numbers.

We are enabling nature to take course by dropping the seeds at the right time, tide levels, location, soil depths etc but what makes it all happen is nature itself. 

​

Our goal is to truly empower communities to become self-sufficient in utilizing drones through aerial planting techniques and ancillary analysis as needed. This will not only support their livelihoods but also aid in the restoration of their critical areas.

At Distant Imagery, we empower communities with customized, self-engineered solutions, focusing on drone technology and rigging. Our approach enables communities to self build and integrate aerial solutions into their long-term strategies, with the ability to engage in drone terrestrial and marine habitat restoration and monitoring.

Our mechanical rigging, made using cutting-edge 3D printing technology, is at the heart of our solution, allowing us to remain agile and responsive. We provide hands-on training to create local teams capable of driving ecological restoration efforts, particularly in areas where access is difficult or rapid reforestation is needed.

Our team of experts doesn't just provide instruction; we walk alongside community members every step of the way. From building custom low-cost aerial solutions to mastering flight techniques and environmental analysis, we work with the community towards hands-on training that instills confidence and fosters self-sufficiency.

We aim to create local teams capable of driving ecological restoration efforts, particularly in areas where access is difficult or rapid reforestation is needed. 

Our partnership training program focuses on the reforestation of mangroves and endemic terrestrial species. The training covers the entire process, including building drones and seed drop mechanisms, mastering flight techniques, conducting maintenance, and ensuring adherence to local regulations. We actively collaborate with the community to complete the initial round of restoration as per our project commitments.
