QUESTIONS

How does the MORFO reforestation solution work?

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

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

1 > Analyses
First of all, data collection via drones and satellites is used to analyze 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 seeds in capsules that contain all the biological and nutritive elements required for long-term reforestation. A single drone can treat up to 50 hectares per day, with each drone capable of planting 180 capsules per minute on steep, hard-to-reach terrain. This is 50 times faster than a traditional reforestation solution, and without the months of growth in the nursery.

4 > Forestry monitoring
The evolution of plantations is given special attention through monitoring of biomass, biodiversity and carbon stocks, using images taken by drones and satellites.

What is MORFO's business model?

MORFO charges a fee per hectare for analysis, planting and follow-up planting, for a minimum period of 5 years. The price per hectare depends on a number of factors, such as the location of the land, access and its current condition. If you would like more information, we can provide a free analysis.

How does MORFO help restore biodiversity?

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

Researching and studying tree species is an intensive R&D task. We work with recognized specialist laboratories, such as the IRD, to improve plantations and survival rates in the different biomes we work in.

What are MORFO's success rates?

In our laboratory, we achieve survival rates averaging 80% (from 55 to 100% depending on the species). On field, we work with nature, sometimes on very degraded terrain. We aim, by combining our various technologies (capsules, soil analysis, weather forecast monitoring, etc.) to get closer to this percentage rate.

Where will MORFO be in 2030?

> 1 million hectares and 1.2 billion trees planted worldwide. That's equivalent to the size of countries like Lebanon, Puerto Rico or Jamaica.

‍‍‍‍>20 million tons of CO2 sequestered by our forests.‍‍

‍> Over 1,000 tropical species studied and categorized in our catalog.‍‍

‍>Over 10 biomes analyzed.‍‍

‍>10,000 people involved in our projects around the world, with over 300 people working at MORFO.
