Regeneration Festivals popularized as everyday social renewal and often can be seen using autonomous seeders (2108).
Over the second half of the 21st century, Climate Resilience Zones (CRZs) get expanded using autonomous seeding devices called Fireflies. The citizen science groups in the Hong Kong CRZs, inspired by the Walezi wa msitu, take the concept of old-growth ecology seeding to the next level with automation practices that are also more useful where more delicate regeneration strategies are needed. These autonomous seeders are cheekily called 'fireflies' (螢火蟲) in a period when insect declines coincide with continued 6th mass extinctions. Under exacerbated and unpredictable climate cycles, these assisted seeders offer the possibilities for migrating and regenerating vulnerable terrestrial ecosystems to suitable climate zones by restoring soils and freshwater ecosystems through human efforts in the various regeneration festivals that have become widespread. In the 21st century, these ‘fireflies’ are busy planting new old-growth ecosystems in regions where the heat death of forest ecosystems has occurred. However, this is only done under desperate attempts to preserve biodiversity and relieve these ecosystems of climate stressors, as disruptive climate patterns disrupt ecosystems worldwide.
