Abstract : Deforestation in many countries worldwide has led to a significant reduction
in forest areas and a rise in the frequency and intensity of fires, exacerbated by climate
change. The disappearance of native forests contributes to higher net carbon dioxide
emissions in the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect associated with global
warming [1]. A solution to that problem can be Using drones for aerial seeding in forest
restoration, which holds significant promise but encounters major obstacles that hinder
its efficiency and scalability. Existing methods typically involve blanket seeding across
the entire restoration area, resulting in a large number of seeds being dispersed, many of
which land in locations where they cannot successfully grow [2]. In this research, we
propose Multi-UAV route planning methods that focus on covering selected clusters of
forest land to seed those that have high germination rates instead of seeding all areas of
forest land.
