Imagine jumping from a plane, not for the adrenaline rush but for the future of our planet. This is exactly what professional skydiver Luigi Cani did in one of the most daring environmental missions ever attempted. His goal? To scatter 100 million tree seeds over the Amazon rainforest and help restore areas devastated by deforestation.
This incredible project, blending extreme sports with reforestation, proves that bold action can bring real change. Let’s dive into how this mission worked, why it matters, and what it means for the future of our world’s most vital rainforest.
Who is Luigi Cani?
Luigi Cani is a renowned Brazilian skydiver and wingsuit pilot, known for pushing the limits of aerial stunts. With over 14,000 jumps, he has spent his career defying gravity. However, this time, his mission wasn’t about breaking records—it was about giving back to nature.
Partnering with environmental organizations and scientists, Cani took on the challenge of using skydiving as a tool for large-scale reforestation.

The 100 Million Tree Seed Drop
The Jump: Planting Trees from 14,000 Feet
At an altitude of 14,000 feet, Luigi Cani and his team took flight over the Amazon rainforest, carrying a special cargo—a biodiversity bomb packed with 120 species of native tree seeds.
As he plunged through the sky, the container was released, scattering seeds over a barren stretch of land that had been damaged by deforestation.
Why Was This Important?
The Amazon rainforest, often called the “lungs of the Earth,” is disappearing at an alarming rate due to illegal logging, agriculture, and fires. Cani’s mission was designed to accelerate natural regeneration in a way that is fast, efficient, and impactful.
Here’s why this method was revolutionary:
✅ Precision Seed Distribution – The seeds were carefully chosen to match the ecosystem, ensuring a high survival rate.
✅ 95% Germination Rate – Unlike traditional planting, these seeds were prepared to take root quickly and grow into a lush forest.
✅ Speed and Scale – Instead of planting by hand, skydiving made it possible to cover large areas in minutes.
The Impact: A New Future for the Amazon
In a few years, this once-damaged land will transform into a thriving ecosystem full of trees, wildlife, and biodiversity.
🌎 Cani’s mission is a blueprint for future reforestation efforts, proving that innovation can help tackle climate change.
🔥 This project inspired millions worldwide, showing how creativity and determination can bring real environmental change.
