AMAZONIAN 500 CHALLENGE

Join MORFO in the largest AI-powered reforestation effort in the Amazon

Be a catalyst for change: Collectively fund the restoration of 500 vital hectares of the Amazon, securing its future for climate stability, thriving communities, and unparalleled biodiversity.

01
The Urgent Funding Gap

While the ambition for global nature restoration is monumental and a critical funding gap threatens our planet's future, current investment in biodiversity, a cornerstone of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), needs to increase fivefold to reach an estimated $830 billion annually by 2030 to meet global targets.

02
Beyond Philanthropy

The World Resources Institute confirms that NbS are vital for financial resilience and sustainable growth, moving beyond environmental concerns to core business strategy.

03
Exponential Growth

The market for private finance in NbS is experiencing a significant shift, demonstrating a clear maturation of the investment landscape as private funding for NbS is projected to grow sevenfold by 2050, increasing its share from 18% to 33% of total NbS finance.

Bridging the Gap

We offer a highly scalable, transparent, and societally integrated solution to capture this burgeoning market opportunity, delivering ecological impact and attractive returns.

MORFO: Ecological Restoration Serving People and Nature

We don't just restore forest ecosystems; we cultivate the future of the Amazon. Our unique value proposition lies in an innovative fusion of technology, community integration, and a holistic vision.

Technology for Human Benefit

Through our strategic partnership with Google, we leverage advanced AI and drone technology. This enables us to operate with unmatched speed, precision, and scale, optimizing the ecological impact of every hectare for human benefit.

Deep Community Integration

At the heart of our method lies an unwavering commitment to local communities and their sustainable future. We deeply integrate their ancestral knowledge and strengthen their autonomy and economy through the implementation of thriving agroforestry systems.

A Holistic Restoration Vision

Our approach is systemic.  To cultivate a resilient ecosystem that will thrive for generations, we must understand, act, and meticulously monitor over the long term. At Morfo we restore resilient forests, sequester carbon, revitalize soils and protect biodiversity, while fostering vital socio-economic development for local families.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS

1. What does my contribution fund exactly?

Your investment covers end-to-end reforestation, ensuring a truly systemic approach to restoration. This includes comprehensive site analysis, biodiversity-focused native seed collection, precision drone planting, traditional planting with seedlings, and assisted natural regeneration. Your contribution supports the establishment of both native forest restoration areas and integrated agroforestry systems. Multi-year ecological monitoring confirms the long-term success of these vital Amazonian hectares.

2. Can I choose where my hectares are planted?

For Impact Partner & Ecosystem Steward (1 - 10 hectares): You can indicate preferences. While we aim to accommodate them, final allocation depends on ecological suitability and our holistic restoration planning.

For CHANGEMAKER SPONSOR (25 hectares): Yes, we offer enhanced consultation to understand your preferences. While final allocation remains subject to ecological suitability and our holistic restoration planning, we will provide more granular details and mapping of your designated restoration area to ensure a strong connection to your investment.

For VISIONARY PIONEER (100+ hectares): Absolutely. As a Visionary Pioneer, you will have the priority opportunity to collaborate directly with our ecological and mapping teams to define the specific location for your 100+ hectares within our strategic restoration zones, ensuring alignment with both your strategic goals and the highest ecological suitability. We will provide detailed mapping and regular updates specific to your dedicated restoration area.

3. What kind of reporting will I receive?

You’ll get regular updates, including high-resolution photos of the project, drone imagery, biodiversity indicators, and carbon capture data through our digital dashboard (customized for Changemakers).

4. Is this verified or certified in any way?

We align with the highest standards and guidelines in all projects we develop, including FSC, PEFC, and emerging voluntary carbon market protocols such as Verra VM00047. For larger partners, we can explore co-certification.

5. Can we visit the sites?

For the COP30 flagship experience, all contributors are invited to visit our COP30 adjacent demonstration site , located approximately 20 minutes from the main convention center in Belém, from November 10th to 21st, 2025. 
Separately, exclusive and priority on-site immersive visits to your sponsored plot in the Amazon are restricted to our VISIONARY PIONEER partners (100+ hectares restored). These will be organized starting January 2026.

6. Is this a donation or a purchase?

This strategic impact investment in ecological restoration, with branding, visibility, and measurable ESG outcomes, is also open to donation.

7. Can I offset carbon with this project?

Carbon credits are not issued in the first phase of this project. However, the project aligns with high-integrity credit frameworks. We can explore further crediting options with you.

8. Can I co-brand the initiative with my company?

Yes. Changemakers receive enhanced branding options on-site, in communications, and across digital channels. We’re open to deeper partnerships.

9. What makes MORFO different from other reforestation efforts?

MORFO combines scientific research, AI, drone technology, traditional planting methods, assisted natural regeneration, and deep local knowledge to restore native biodiversity at unmatched speed, precision, and scale — all with full transparency and a systemic approach to long-term ecosystem resilience.

10. How do I get started?

Just fill in the form above. Our partnerships team will reach out to align on your contribution plan and finalize your participation.

11. What is the timeline for the reforestation effort? 

We are actively working towards the 500-hectare goal to be unveiled at COP30 in November 2025. Operations will start at the end of the year, with continuous monitoring and reporting extending over several years to ensure the long-term success of the restored areas.

12. How does MORFO ensure the long-term success and sustainability of the restored areas? 

Our commitment extends beyond the restoration of the ecosystem. We implement multi-year ecological monitoring using satellite and drone imagery, alongside on-the-ground assessments. 
This allows us to track biodiversity, growth rates, and overall ecosystem health, ensuring the long-term sustainability and resilience of the restored Amazonian land.
Our systemic approach ensures that the ecosystem will thrive for generations, with long-term agroforestry systems generating sustainable revenues for the 75 families involved.

13. What is the role of the local communities in this project?

Local communities are vital partners in our reforestation efforts. We engage with them throughout the project lifecycle, from seed collection and site preparation to training, co-designing agroforestry operations (SAFs), monitoring, and protection. 
Our goal is to create sustainable job opportunities for 75 family farmers (benefiting approximately 300 people directly), foster environmental stewardship, and ensure that the benefits of restoration directly contribute to their well-being and food sovereignty through agroecological production.

14. How did you come up with the projection of carbon sequestered ?

Our projection of 150,000 tons of CO2e sequestered per year across 500 hectares is a conservative 30-year estimate derived from robust scientific modeling. 
This projection takes into account several key factors such as species-specific growth rates, ecological zone data, below-ground carbon, conservative buffering for natural mortality rates and potential disturbances and alignment recognized carbon accounting methodologies although carbon credits are not issued in the first phase of this project.
