Living Mountains — Living Water — Living Future
Living Mountains - Living Water - Living Future
DREVO Living Mountains
International Initiative for the Restoration of Mountain Ecosystems, Water Resources and Biodiversity
From mountain peaks to the sea coast
Our vision
Mountains are the source of most of the Earth's fresh water.
This is where they are born:
rivers;
springs;
forests;
fertile soils;
biodiversity.
If mountains die, all the territories located below gradually degrade.
Our goal is to restore the entire water life cycle, starting with mountain catchments.
main idea
We view nature as a single system.
Mountain ridges → Slopes → Springs → Streams → Rivers → Floodplains → Deltas → Seas
Each element influences the next.
It is impossible to restore the river without restoring the forest.
It is impossible to preserve a forest without water.
It is impossible to retain water without healthy soil.
Nine natural cascades
Mountain ridges
Upper slopes
Medium wet slopes
Medium warm slopes
Foothills
River floodplains
River mouths
Coastal zones
Marine ecosystems
Each cascade has its own recovery tasks.
Main projects
Mountain Springs Recovery
Mountain Forest Corridors
Living Mountain Observatory
WOOD River Rover
TREE AeroSense
WOOD AI
Mountain Digital Twin
DREVO Timber Reserve
Mountain Springs Recovery
Recovery:
springs;
upper reaches of rivers;
groundwater recharge zones.
Result:
increase in fresh water reserves;
restoration of permanent river flows.
Mountain Forest Corridors
Creating continuous forest ecosystems:
Watershed Corridor
Slope Corridor
Spring Corridor
River Corridor
Wildlife Corridor
Pollinator Corridor
Forests become water retention infrastructure.
Living Mountain Observatory
Global monitoring system.
Used:
satellites;
drones;
sensors;
camera trap;
acoustic stations;
automatic hydroposts.
All data is fed into a digital control system.
WOOD River Rover
Robotic family of platforms.
Scout
River exploration.
Clean
Cleaning of rivers.
Restore
Restoration of natural processes.
Cargo Platform
Transportation of materials.
TREE AeroSense
Aviation complex:
LiDAR;
spectral survey;
thermal imagers;
vegetation analysis;
search for springs;
erosion control.
WOOD AI
Digital intelligence of the project.
Analyzes:
water;
forest;
animals;
climate;
soils;
biodiversity.
Generates recommendations for recovery.
Mountain Digital Twin
Creating a digital twin of each catchment area.
Stored:
cards;
photographs;
change history;
river models;
forest models;
development forecasts.
DREVO Timber Reserve
Strategic timber reserve.
Main tasks:
preservation of unique trees;
production of bog wood;
scientific research;
legacy of future generations.
What are we restoring?
water;
forest;
soil;
animals;
springs;
swamps;
floodplains;
rivers;
climate.
Nature is the best engineer
We use:
natural processes;
natural materials;
biodiversity;
modern technologies.
Technologies help nature, not replace it.
Our tools
Artificial intelligence
Robots
Drones
Satellites
Environmental sensors
Digital twins
Scientific research

Who is the project for?
states;
national parks;
municipalities;
scientific institutes;
universities;
forestry;
farmers;
international environmental organizations;
investors and sustainable development funds.
Mountains are the heart of the water cycle
Each restored vertex:
⬇
creates new springs
⬇
feeds rivers
⬇
restores floodplains
⬇
supports the seas
⬇
improves the climate.
Our Heritage
We are not creating a project for five years.
Not for one generation.
We are creating a system that can work:
50
100
300 years
DREVO Living Mountains
Restoring Water. Restoring Forests. Restoring Life.
By restoring water, we restore forests.
By restoring forests, we restore life.
Suggested second-level structure (for a large presentation of 50–100 slides)
After the introductory part, the presentation can be divided into six major blocks:
Philosophy and scientific foundations- hydrology, forest ecology, biodiversity, nature-based solutions.
Ecosystems and cascades— all nine cascades, types of forest corridors, restoration of springs, rivers, floodplains and swamps.
DREVO Technological Ecosystem — AeroSense, River Rover, Living Mountain Observatory, DREVO AI, Mountain Digital Twin.
Practical projects— pilot territories, stages of implementation, calculation of environmental and socio-economic impact.
International cooperation— participation of states, scientific organizations, businesses and local communities.
Strategy for 100–300 years- watershed management, restoration of natural capital and transfer of ecological heritage to future generations.
This structure will allow us to presentDREVO Living Mountainsnot only as a conservation initiative, but also as a long-term international platform for the management of water resources, forests, biodiversity and climate resilience.
