How to work with morfo

01

Land presentation

Present MORFO with the land on which you wish to start a forest ecosystem restoration project eligible for high-quality carbon credits.
02

pre-analysis

MORFO carries out a pre-analysis of the terrain and the socio-economic conditions of the project. We present our findings next to the preferred restoration technology, the total financial cost of the project, as well as the carbon stock potential.
03

Certification

An independent actor (or you, if that's your job) commits to ensuring accurate and transparent bookkeeping of the carbon sequestrated by the reforestation project.
04

Reforestation validation

Actors validate the pre-analysis, costs, methodology to be applied and duration of the follow-up altogether.
05

complete analysis

We carry out an in-depth analysis of all aspects of the terrain, through soil, drone and satellite diagnoses.
06

planning & planting

We prepare the ground thanks to local players who will benefit from our biological knowledge and field experience. In accordance with local stakeholders, our researchers select around 20 local and complementary species to plant. We plant certain areas by drone, for more efficiency, better results and cost reduction. Up to 25% of our projects can be planted by hand, in partnership with local NGOs.
07

maintenance

We ensure the forest's long-term development by focusing on restoring plant biodiversity, as well as biomass growth.
08

carbon tracking

MORFO and the independent actor both integrate progress data into a rigorous process for monitoring, reporting and verifying carbon sequestration in order to issue credits.

WHY USE
MORFO's CARBON CREDITS?

We collaborate with companies, projects and NGOs. Invest wisely in truly sustainable initiatives and help create local jobs (seed collection, nurseries, monitoring) and forests with a positive social impact (food, economic activities, depollution, water resources)

Our credits also include strict criteria on the biodiversity aspect. More than 20 different local species are planted per project, thanks to our catalog of over 600 species.

More than just restoring forests, we're restoring plant and animal biodiversity, improving air quality and limiting erosion.

Thanks to the use of seedpods and drones, we are able to increase the survival rate of seeds (80% on average in the laboratory). In a context of seed shortage, we therefore need far fewer seeds than other techniques. Thus, MORFO makes it possible to restore more hectares.

MORFO has its own scientific research laboratory. We have also created several research programs with laboratories in Brazil and Europe to constantly increase the success of our projects.

Our drones can be quickly deployed, on a wide range of sites, in record time. On average, our projects start within 2 months. The first planting takes place within the next 6 months. Most importantly, we can plant up to 50 hectares a day.

At every stage of the project and for 30 years after planting, you have access to all your project's progess data. We directly measure all the indicators needed for your projects and share them on a dashboard that can be accessed at any time.

Forests store a third of the earth's carbon, mainly in tropical and subtropical forests. According to data from the University of California at Berkeley, only 3% of carbon credits remove carbon from the atmosphere, and almost all of these come from afforestation, reforestation and revegetation (ARR) projects.

Morfo's mission

Contribute to the fight against climate change by restoring forest ecosystems rich in biodiversity and with a significant social impact, drawing on three key areas of innovation: R&D, artificial intelligence and technology drones.

Your MORFO Certificate Project has a quantifiable, living impact that could not have happened without your investment. It's an opportunity to give back, build trust and inspire those around you for decades to come.

All your forest data in a single database

DASHBOARD

Our customers and their stakeholders get full access to a project’s dashboard with transparent data, imagery and reports.

This allows for real-time management, optimization, and monitoring of projects, boosting their potential impact and value.

QUESTIONS

How does MORFO's reforestation solution work?

MORFO has developed a solution for large-scale ecological restoration of forest ecosystems. We restore areas that were previously forested and have been deforested, becoming unproductive. We focus on tropical and subtropical regions such as the Amazon Forest, the Atlantic Forest and the African Equatorial Forest.

MORFO's solution is a multi-stage reforestation process:

1 > Analysis
Firstly, data collected via drones, satellites and on-site analysis are used to diagnose the area to be reforested.

2 > Seed selection and collection
Suitable local or even endemic species are selected from an in-house catalog (i.e. previously studied and tested in the laboratory). They are then collected by local communities to best meet the needs of the ecosystem.

3 > Plantation
Our drones disperse seedpods that contain all the biological and nutritive elements required for long-term reforestation. A single drone can cover up to 50 hectares per day, planting 180 seedpods per minute, on steep, hard-to-reach, or dangerous terrain. This method is up to 100 times faster traditional reforestation solutions, and does not need a plant nursery.

4 > Forestry monitoring
Plantation growth is given special attention through biomass, biodiversity and carbon stock monitoring, using drone and satellite imagery, as well as on-site analysis.

Do you measure the carbon captured by the trees planted?

Forests are a major solution to climate change, capturing around 35% of the carbon in the atmosphere, according to the IPCC. We recognize the importance of acting quickly and combine technology and research to reforest efficiently. With a single drone, we are able to plant up to 50 hectares per day, sowing 180 seeds per minute. We focus our efforts on tropical and subtropical areas, which have a higher carbon absorption capacity.

At MORFO, we have a few safeguards:

> We only work with companies that have verified strategies in place to reduce their emissions.

> Our carbon credits are based on 3 inseparable pillars: carbon capture, biodiversity restoration, and social impact.

> We work in areas with lower chances of natural regeneration, such as lands with extremely degraded soils.

How does MORFO help restore biodiversity?

Promoting species diversity in our restoration projects is one of our priorities. We carefully select species planted to maximize biodiversity and recreate the native ecosystem, mimicking the stages of forest ecological succession.

Researching and studying plant species requires intensive R&D. We have currently cataloged over 300 tropical and subtropical species, by working with recognized specialist laboratories, to improve forest growth and health.

What is MORFO's business model?

MORFO charges a fee per hectare for each of its 4 solutions (Diagnosis, Planning, Planting, and Monitoring) for at least a 5 years period.

Prices per hectare depend on several factors such as land location, accessibility and current condition.

Why use seedpods?

Our seeds are placed in seed capsules. These capsules contain all the biological and nutritional elements needed for long-term reforestation. We use drones to disperse and plant these capsules on site, ensuring effective and sustainable reforestation practices that benefit the environment.

The three main benefits of using capsules are:

> Seed protection
Seed capsules protect seeds from external factors, preserving their viability.

> Feeding during early stages of growth
Seed capsules provide essential nutrients to support seedlings during their early stages of development.

> Restoration of degraded soils
Our method helps to revitalize and revitalize impoverished soils, promoting the overall recovery of ecosystems.

MORFO devotes itself daily to research and development in our in-house laboratories and in collaboration with partners to carefully select the best seeds for each reforestation project. Our catalog currently includes over 600 species that have been studied or are currently under investigation. To be selected, species must meet a minimum of 13 criteria, some of which are mandatory while others are not.
