DARK SECRETS: The skydiving legend luigi cani released 100 million seeds from native plants over the amazon | Vintage Vibes

In the 1980s, burning rainforests in Brazil drew worldwide attention to the ‘lungs of the world’. About 17 percent of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years and, shockingly enough, in 2022, the studies showed the highest recorded deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon since 2016.

Brazilian skydiving legend Luigi Cani wanted to find a way to help. It took him 5 years of preparation to make this restoration dream come true, yet in 2022, he finally scattered 100 million seeds from 27 native plants at 6,500 feet over the Brazilian Amazon.
