Uniting Technology & Expertise to Protect the Forest

A non-profit collaboration between Brazil Flying Labs and Boone Voyage, using drone technology and AI to assess fire damage, guide recovery efforts, and empower local communities.

The Amazon Crisis: Over 10,000 square kilometers of rainforest were lost in 2023 alone. Our work is to assess and assist in the restoration of this vital ecosystem.

Our Approach to Conservation & Community Empowerment

Brazil Flying Labs empowers communities with technology skills while promoting environmental sustainability through innovative drone applications.

Forest Conservation Mapping

We collaborate with organizations like the Forest Foundation to map the Atlantic Forest using drone technology, creating detailed orthomosaics and 3D models to support conservation efforts.

Recent project: Mapping biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest region

STEM Education for Youth

We provide hands-on training programs for young people, particularly from underrepresented communities, teaching them drone technology, programming, and environmental monitoring skills.

Impact: Programs in Jundiaí and Cajamar for vulnerable youth

Women in Technology

We partner with initiatives like UFABC para MiN@s to increase female participation in STEM fields, offering workshops and competitions that introduce girls to drone technology and robotics.

Achievement: Engaged 30+ girls in recent drone piloting workshops

Python Programming with Drones

Our innovative curriculum combines Python programming with drone technology, giving students practical skills that are in high demand while addressing real-world environmental challenges.

Program: Supported by Iron Mountain's Moving Mountains initiative

Environmental Monitoring

We develop drone-based solutions for monitoring and protecting natural habitats, creating detailed maps and data that help communities and organizations make informed conservation decisions.

Focus: Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest) preservation efforts

Sustainable Agriculture

We support farmers with drone technology to increase crop yields while promoting sustainable practices, helping to reduce the pressure on natural forests while improving food security.

Vision: Supporting São Paulo state farmers with aerial monitoring

Our Vision for Impact

As our partnership begins, we're setting ambitious goals to make a meaningful difference in Amazon rainforest conservation.
