'We must act! ... We will no longer exist'

[rachel83az]

Aside from whatever other goals the program might have, you need some sort of buy-in to get people to care about a thing. Using drones to seed-bomb a wide area can, indeed, quickly get plants growing in an area. But why should anyone care about what a nameless, faceless, drone does? It doesn't take any work to plant the trees & plants, so what does it matter if I (or someone else) rips them up again? They can just be replanted.

People tend to care more about things where they have an actual investment or where they can put an actual face to a situation. "Oh, yeah, Bob told me that his friend got recruited for this project. Very cool! I'm not going to disturb it."
