Ball clay

A community-based ecological restoration project inspired by permaculture, ecological succession, and collective action to help regenerate territories affected by wildfires and ecosystem degradation.

Why Seed Bomb?

Chile faces increasingly destructive fire seasons driven by drought, soil degradation, and the expansion of forestry monocultures. Thousands of hectares of native forest disappear every year.

Seed Bomb responds through collective ecological restoration, combining native seeds, compost, clay, aerial dispersal, and community participation to support ecosystem regeneration and the recovery of biodiversity.

How It Works

Seed Bomb follows the natural logic of ecological succession, supporting pioneer species that prepare the soil for the gradual return of native forests.

Collect

Native seeds, compost, clay, and local ecological knowledge are gathered collaboratively

Create

Communities collectively produce seed bombs through workshops and participatory activities.

Disperse

Seed bombs are distributed across degraded landscapes using small aircraft or drone in a territorial actions.

Regenerate

Pioneer species improve the soil and support long-term ecosystem recovery.

Expected Impact

Soil recovery and water retention

Community & Collective Action

Seed Bomb transforms reforestation into a symbolic and collective act. Workshops and territorial actions create spaces for environmental education, local participation, and community rebuilding.

The project connects ecology, art, technology, and social action to imagine new ways of caring for ecosystems together
