MORFO is a science-based company specializing in large-scale ecological restoration of native forest ecosystems, particularly in tropical regions. Their innovative approach combines agronomy, artificial intelligence, and drone technology to accelerate Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR). MORFO assists carbon developers, governments, NGOs, and corporations by providing scientific and operational solutions for forest restoration, focusing on biodiversity-rich projects for maximum resilience and carbon sequestration. They involve local communities in their projects, ensuring social benefits and sustainability. Their technology enables rapid and efficient planting using drones, which can cover up to 50 hectares per day and plant 180 seedpods per minute, even in difficult terrain. MORFO has a catalog of over 300 native species and aims to restore ecosystems designed to last for centuries, with a business model based on a fee per hectare for their four solutions (Diagnosis, Planning, Planting, and Monitoring) over a minimum of five years.
