In this episode, I interview Maximo Bottaro. Maximo is the co-founder of ReForest Now, an NGO whose purpose is to grow and plant trees, and educate people about biodiversity and forests. His knowledge of ecology is impressive. After studying science degrees and genetic research in rainforests, working for Greenpeace, Rainforest Rescue and Rainforest Trust, he’s decided to start his own enterprise, uninhibited.

Reforest Now employs 16 staff members, has donors in over 40 countries, a one-hectare nursery, a partnership with the search engine Ecosia, and managed to streamline a tree growing and planting process that enables them to plant trees for ONLY $5 PER TREE (most other structures require a minimum of $15 per tree).

In PART 2, you will learn why the great Australian bushfires that took off at the end of 2019 were so devastating, how bush regeneration can help mitigate bushfires, and how patchy forests make the environment more vulnerable to fires and loss of biodiversity. You’ll also hear Maximo explain how the forests all around the world are interconnected, what bioprecipitation is, the impact of forest logging, and how we need political action on an international level to protect what remains of our forests.
Finally, in the last few minutes of the interview, Maximo delivers his message to the world, and it is nothing short of beautiful.
