How this Aussie start-up is using drones to replant the world

Three years ago, French immigrant Aymeric Maudous was sitting in his home in Sydney watching a documentary by David Attenborough on the Galápagos Islands, learning how over millions of years they had been populated by plants via seeds carried by ocean currents, in the air or dropped by birds.

🇦🇺 Lord of the Trees raises $1.25 million pre-seed funding. Draper Associates led the round for the Australian startup that uses precision drone technology to plant tree seeds and contribute to global reforestation.

Inside Small Business

Aussie drone planting start-up wins backing from billionaire investor

Australian-based drone planting eco-tech company Lord of the Trees, a B-Corp that deploys swarms of drones to undertake reforestation, has gained funding from U.S. entrepreneur Tim Draper. The investment by the billionaire whose investment portfolio includes PayPal Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, Skype and Hotmail increases Lor of the Trees’ valuation to AUD$7 million.

The investment comes from Draper’s ESG fund that backs technology start-ups with inherent ESG principles and the potential to transform industries for a better future.

“For ages I had been wanting to invest in a company that’s truly committed to planet regeneration, and then I found Lord of the Trees!” Draper said. “I was thrilled by their simple technological solution and innovative business model, plus their commitment to meet the growing needs of carbon reduction across the globe.

“I marvel at the possibilities this company is creating for our planet and their commitment to restoring our ecosystems,” Draper added.

Lord of the Trees, featured in a recent issue of the Inside Small Business Magazine, uses precision drone technology, AI and proprietary seed pods to restore ecosystems worldwide. Their technology enables them to achieve a planting rate of about 400,000 seed pods in 12 hours, thereby enhancing the plants’ symbiotic relationship to ensure success of the replanted areas. Currently the company has projects underway in Townsville and the Sunshine Coast in Australia, and imminent plans for new planting to begin planting in Australia’s Daintree rainforest, Greece and parts of America. Discussions for additional projects are under way with local and international government agencies, NGOs, environmental groups, mining corporations and agricultural landowners.

“Not all planting is created equal,” Aymeric Maudous, Lord of The Trees founder and a regular ISB columnist, said. “The old manual, hand planting methods were time-consuming and came with a high failure rate, so the entire approach to reforestation needed a major rethink.

“By combining the knowledge of environment experts, scientists, engineers, animal protection agencies and indigenous communities we are able to deploy swarms of drones to undertake companion planting.

“I believe our significant research and tech capabilities really appealed to Tim Draper, and we are delighted to welcome him as Lord of the Trees’ lead investor,” Maudous added.

The announcement comes at a time when the need for innovative, effective replanting of the planet has never been more urgent:

  • 18.7 million acres of the earth’s forests are lost per year – that’s the equivalent of 27 soccer fields per minute.
  • About half of the world’s tropical forests have now been cleared.
  • 80 per cent of earth’s land animals and plants live in forests.
  • Deforestation threatens these species including the orangutan, Sumatran tiger and many species of birds.

Lord of the Trees Raises $1.25 Million Pre-Seed Round Led by Draper Associates

Lord of the Trees, a full ecosystem restoration company that uses precision drone planting technology to restore degraded landscapes, today announced a $1.25 million Pre-Seed funding round led by Draper Associates, a global venture capital firm investing in industry transforming companies.

Lord of the Trees uses a combination of high technology (artificial intelligence, robotics, and drones) and Lo-Tek (Local Traditional Ecological Knowledge) to harmoniously regenerate the Earth’s damaged ecosystems. The company’s precision-planting drones are capable of scattering seeds on a vast scale – at a rate of about 400,000 seed pods in just 12 hours – cheaper and more efficiently than ever before. These proprietary seed pods contain a blend of plant nutrients that sustain optimum germination conditions, increasing the seeds’ chances of developing a healthy root system. The success rate (75%) is nearly double the industry average.

“Planting trees is the most inexpensive and efficient way to combat climate change, a fact recognized by governments and environmental groups worldwide, however the cost of major replanting projects has always been prohibitive, and fraught with logistical difficulties,” said Aymeric Maudous, Founder of Lord of the Trees. “We are the first company to take a 360 degree look at how plants, animals, humans and other factors combine to produce a fully functional ecosystem – and how to restore it once it’s been damaged.”

Lord of the Trees plans to tackle restoring blue carbon sources, like mangroves, tidal marshlands, and kelp forests first, as these environments are able to absorb 3-5x more carbon dioxide than regular forests. In fact, the company is currently proceeding with a drone replanting project of critically endangered Red Mangroves in Australia and will be conducting additional programs in Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, California, Mexico and Africa.

Lord of the Trees was founded by CEO Aymeric Maudous, after an extensive career as a brand marketer for Renault, Disney, Louis Vuitton (LVMH) and — more recently – MaisonNets. In 2019, Aymeric founded Lord of the Trees, Australia’s first commercial drone planting company and was hand-picked to be part of an international cohort of sustainability experts to participate in Al Gore’s “Climate Reality Leadership” course.

“I’ve been wanting to invest in a company that’s truly committed to planet regeneration for a long time, and I found Lord of the Trees! I was thrilled by Lord of the Trees’ simple technological solution and their innovative business model as well as their commitment to meet the growing needs of carbon reduction across the globe. I marvel at the possibilities this company is creating for our planet and their commitment to restoring our ecosystems,” says Tim Draper, Founding Partner of Draper Associates.

“The need for innovative, effective replanting of the planet has never been more urgent with about half of the world’s tropical rainforests having now been cleared. Deforestation threatens 80% of earth’s land animals and plants along with our very existence,” added Maudous.

Lord of the Trees is poised to become an industry disruptor in upscaling environmental protection and habitat regeneration, working with government authorities, the mining sector, land owners, and the agricultural industry to restore biodiversity on a mass scale at a vastly reduced cost.

News Startupdaily

US billionaire Tim Draper, famed for investments in the likes of PayPal, Tesla, Twitter, Coinbase and Robinhood, has backed Australian-based drone planting eco-tech firm Lord of the Trees (LOTT) in a $US1.25 million (A$1.67m) pre-Seed round.

His drone planting solution has the potential to transform reforestation programs and the scale they can operate at.

“Not all planting is created equal. The old manual, hand planting methods were time-consuming and came with a high failure rate, so the entire approach to reforestation needed a major rethink,” Maudous said.

“By combining the knowledge of environment experts, scientists, engineers, animal protection agencies and indigenous communities we are able to deploy swarms of drones to undertake companion planting.”

Maudous said the LOTT planting speed enhances the plants’ symbiotic relationship to ensure success of the replanted areas.

“I believe our significant research and tech capabilities really appealed to Tim Draper, and we are delighted to welcome him as Lord of the Trees’ lead investor,” he said.

Draper said LOTT was the answer to a question he’d been asking for some time.

“For ages I had been wanting to invest in a company that’s truly committed to planet regeneration, and then I found Lord of the Trees!” he said.

The investment values LOTT, founded in 2019, at A$7 million.

Lord of the Trees is a global reforestation company that uses swarms of precision drones, AI and proprietary seed pods that is able to plant up to 400,000 seed pods in 12 hours.

The startup already has projects underway in Townsville and the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, with imminent plans for new planting the World Heritage-listed Daintree rainforest, Greece and parts of America.

LOTT founder Aymeric Maudous said discussions are underway with local and international government agencies, NGOs, environmental groups, mining corporations and agricultural landowners for new projects.

“I was thrilled by their simple technological solution and innovative business model, plus their commitment to meet the growing needs of carbon reduction across the globe. I marvel at the possibilities this company is creating for our planet and their commitment to restoring our ecosystems.”

Environmental tech startup Lord of the Trees, which specialises in precision drone planting, has been chosen to join Google’s sustainability accelerator program. The Sydney-based startup was selected to attend the five-month program because of its innovative use of drones, robotics and AI to tackle climate change.

Using tech, science and Indigenous knowledge, the ecosystem restoration startup plants seedpods in areas of deforestation worldwide, founder Aymeric Maudous tells SmartCompany.Maudous, who launched Lord of the Trees almost two years ago, says he’s excited to participate in the accelerator program and receive one-on-one mentoring.

“The initiative was launched in 2019 to champion actionable progress towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals,” Maudous explains.The accelerator offers a handful of startup founders personalised training to help them develop their businesses with the support of mentors from Google and external experts.

“We’ll be working closely with engineers from over 20 Google teams, and other subject matter experts to address product, engineering and funding challenges,” Maudous says.Lord of the Trees directly addresses three of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals : climate action, life below water and life on land.Maudous says he also runs the businesses with a commitment to gender equality, decent work and economic growth, and responsible production, which all fall under the United Nations’ goals.

Since its inception, Lord of the Trees has quickly scaled to service customers in Australia and overseas.Currently, Maudous is in discussions with two leading universities about working on blue carbon projects that will address wetland issues.“One is in Queensland, where there’s a buffer zone between the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef,” he says.Overseas, Lord of the Trees has deployed its tech to help rebuild forests in Greece after wildfires, and was contracted by a government in South East Asia to help it meet its commitments under the Paris Agreement.“The way we first structured the business was to be fully scalable very rapidly,” Maudous explains.

Lord of the Trees and its mission to tackle climate change has also caught the intention of investors, and the startup is nearing the close of its first capital raise, with a target of $400,000.“It has been a long six months but it’s great. We’ve got some great interest from local investors and international ones too,” the founder says.

“The challenges are huge,” he adds.“We just want to be part of the solution and develop a technology that would respond to the enormity of the crisis that we’re facing.”

In total, $124.1 million has been allocated to artificial intelligence (AI) investments including a National Artificial Intelligence Centre and a network of AI and Digital Capability Centres. A smaller amount, $35.7 million, has been set aside for emerging technologies like drones, especially to support their use in regional Australia.

It’s a measure drone luminaries such as Aymeric Maudous, founder and director at Lord of the Trees, is applauding. The business operates drones used to plant seeds to help re-forest and restore ecosystems after events such as bushfires on a vast scale.

“Drones have significant potential to boost our economy and its regions over the next decade. This budget is a step in the right direction from our government, with financial commitments around the growth and regulations of this industry.’

“Support for this rapidly-growing technology should enhance productivity across the nation, in particular in the agricultural, forestry and land management sectors.”

Aymeric shared how new technology presents exciting opportunities for planting trees and restoring degraded landscapes, « one of the biggest and cheapest ways of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere to tackle the climate crisis.

In “The Climate Crisis: Using Science and Drones to Replant Our Planet,” Aymeric Maudous and Monica Dodi (MBA 1984) shared the science behind their startup, Lord of the Trees, a precision drone tree-planting company focused on global high-speed reforestation. Maudous is the founder and director, while Dodi serves as director of the company’s trust and foundation.

With the global climate emergency at the top of every business and government agenda in 2021, it was no surprise that more than 70 HBS alumni and guests tuned in to the HBS Association of Southern California’s webinar on February 2 to learn how one start-up is meeting the climate challenge with technology and trees.

Lord of the Trees’ drone-based survey results are paired with AI technology to find scientific solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss.

Having launched Australia’s first EcoXpo in Australia to showcase how easy and achievable sustainable living can be for consumers and businesses alike, Aymeric Madous sold that business six years later. After a brief foray into the world of property management, Aymeric founded Lord of the Trees at the end of 2019.

“The world is in the midst of an undeniable climate crisis,” Aymeric says. “In 2017, for example, the equivalent of 40 football fields were cleared or burnt every minute of every day to produce timber or make way for soy and palm oil crops and cattle pasture. Late in 2019 and into 2020, Australia lost 21 per cent of our forests through bushfire.

“Trees are an invaluable part of our very existence: they provide oxygen we breathe, draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, provide food, shelter, clean water and regulate our weather patterns,” Aymeric adds. “It’s estimated that 22 trees are needed to meet the demand of one person per day.”

This knowledge was the key driver Lord of the Trees. After watching a documentary by Sir David Attenborough on the transformation of the Galapagos Islands from a barren volcanic landscape into one of lush vegetation through wind-borne seeds, Aymeric set out on a mission to emulate Mother Nature through drone technology, science and environmental expertise to create an equivalent method of effective natural seeding.

Lord of the Trees has developed autonomous pre-programmed drones that replant deforested areas around the world. Working with the mining sector, local governments, the agricultural industry and landowners, the organisation is helping accelerate reforestation efforts and achieve planting on a mass scale at a significantly reduced cost.

While seedlings offer instant visual gratification, they have a failure rate of 60–70 per cent and producing them is costly in terms of labour, energy and transportation. Lord of the Trees, therefore, has adopted a direct seeding model, partnering with CSIRO to develop its Seedpod technology in order to enhance growth rates.

“While this takes patience in waiting for seeds to germinate and then grow, this method creates a root system that is 70 per cent stronger than when planting seedlings,” Aymeric explains. “And the failure rate of seeding is only around 15 per cent – up to 50 per cent lower compared to using seedlings.”

The use of drones enables Lord of the Trees to plant five hectares of seeds per hour, whereas manual methods only cover one hectare in the same period of time.

“One of our drones can plant 160,000 seed pods in a day compared to only 800 seedlings planted by hand,” Aymeric says. “We rely on artificial intelligence to pre-program the drones so they can work day and night. They are able to shoot two seed pods per second. We just need two each day to swap batteries and reload seed pods into the drone.”

The company is also conducting drone-based surveys whose results are paired with AI technology to find scientific solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss, and using its drones to help generate ecological mapping tools to guide global restoration efforts. “These maps can show where we should focus our restoration efforts to have the greatest impacts on carbon capture and biodiversity,” Aymeric explains.

The business has just closed its first capital raise with a globally recognised venture capital firm, which will help the company fund branching out to provide services to the American farming industry and the expansion of reforestation projects in Europe.
