AI-driven reforestation is crucial for combating climate change, but optimizing large-scale seed planting strategies remains a challenge. This project leverages Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to create a digital twin of forest ecosystems. By simulating tree growth under climate scenarios, the RL model learns optimal drone-based seed dispersal patterns to maximize carbon sequestration. Real-world validation is performed using satellite data (NDVI indices) and soil sensors.
