Reforestation glossary: 100 words and expressions you need to know to work in reforestation

November 7, 2023

According to the IPCC, in order to achieve the climate targets set by Europe and the world for 2030, 35% of carbon absorption potential should come from forests. 900 million hectares are ready to be reforested, but we're not in a position to achieve this... yet. The United Nations hopes to reforest 80 million hectares a year. Today, we're only at 8 million hectares a year. We need to speed up the reforestation process.

MORFO restores deforested areas in tropical regions like the Atlantic and Equatorial African forests by integrating all forest layers, ensuring ecosystemic resilience. Our efficient approach prioritizes long-term sustainability and comprehensive monitoring of biodiversity, biomass, and carbon levels. MORFO blends the best of forest ecosystem R&D, machine learning & computer vision and a sound business model to make global scale reforestation possible. Our technology enable us to plant quickly and effectively.

This glossary is a concise compilation of terms central to the practice of reforesting. This resource covers key concepts, methods, and technologies involved in replenishing our planet's tree cover. From “agroforestry” to “carbon sequestration,” explore the vocabulary essential for understanding and contributing to reforestation efforts. It will help in learning specialized terms and concepts, enabling clear communication, promoting collaboration among stakeholders, and facilitating the sharing of best practices.
