How AI and Drones Are Rebuilding Brazil’s Lost Forests for Profit

A Brazilian company is turning reforestation into a profitable business. Re.green uses AI, satellites and drones to restore lost forests while generating revenue. Their goal is to raise $60 million by 2025 to expand their technology-driven approach across Brazil’s degraded landscapes. Brazil’s forests have suffered massive losses over the past decades. The Amazon has lost nearly 20% of its cover in 50 years, while the Atlantic Forest—once spanning 350 million acres—now has just 12% remaining. Re.green steps in by acquiring land from farmers and cattle ranchers, either through purchases or long-term leases. With $60 million as its funding target by 2025, Re.green plans to scale up its AI and satellite technology. The company’s model combines ecological restoration with carbon credit sales, offering a market-based solution to deforestation. Their work could help reverse decades of forest loss in Brazil’s most critical ecosystems.
