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 structures require a minimum of $15 per tree).

In PART 1, you will learn how the decrease in rainfall, the loss of biodiversity, the bushfires and climate change are all related, how planting trees can greatly help with all of these problems; why it is so important to protect biodiversity, the distinction between weeds and native species; and how to plant a forest the right way.
