At MORFO, we believe that restoring forests is one of the most impactful actions we can take to combat climate change and protect biodiversity. But restoration success isn’t just about planting trees—it’s about understanding what’s growing, how it’s thriving, and what’s needed to ensure its long-term success.
That’s why we’re excited to launch MORFO SeedlingID, a cutting-edge tool that redefines how we monitor and manage reforestation projects.
Breaking the limitations of satellite and manual monitoring
Restoring degraded ecosystems at scale is one of today’s most pressing challenges. Deforestation and land degradation threaten biodiversity, disrupt water cycles, and exacerbate climate change. However, existing restoration monitoring methods often face significant limitations:
- Satellite Monitoring: Lacks the precision to track seedlings or subtle vegetation changes.
- Manual Monitoring: Too expensive and labor-intensive for large-scale projects.
MORFO’s AI suite, including SeedlingID, overcomes these challenges, delivering high-precision monitoring and analysis that makes restoration faster, more efficient, and cost-effective.

MORFO SeedlingID: Precision monitoring for early-stage forests
MORFO SeedlingID is an advanced, AI-powered tool that uses high-resolution drone imagery and machine learning to identify and track tree species with exceptional precision, even during early growth stages.
Key features:
- Species Recognition: Identifies around 10 species, with high accuracy for six and continuous improvements underway.
- Early-Stage Monitoring: Tracks seedlings from 6 months to 5 years after planting, a critical window for restoration success.
- Unmatched Precision: Drone imagery with 0.3 cm/pixel resolution enables detailed analysis of forest composition.
Transforming reforestation with MORFO SeedlingID
SeedlingID is already transforming restoration efforts in 23 projects across Latin America, including the Amazon, Mata Atlântica, and Cerrado. By providing precise, actionable data, it helps teams save time, cut costs, and achieve better outcomes for biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
Key benefits:
- Faster, more accurate species identification: Most restoration projects struggle to maintain biodiversity, often planting fewer than five species due to tracking challenges. SeedlingID simplifies identification, enabling richer, more resilient ecosystems.
- Enhanced monitoring efficiency: Traditional tools focus on mature forests, neglecting the vulnerable early growth stages. SeedlingID fills this gap, offering critical insights into young forests.
- Data-driven planning for better results: Detailed information on species and distribution allows restoration teams to optimize seed collection, planting strategies, and ecosystem management for long-term success.
Part of MORFO’s comprehensive AI Suite
MORFO SeedlingID is one of six advanced tools in our ecosystem restoration portfolio, that also includes:
- Tree Drone ID: Monitors mature trees (5+ years), assessing species, height, and crown area for biodiversity tracking.
- CoverDrone ID: Maps land cover, forest types, and degraded areas with precision.
- Soil Insights: Measures soil quality, analyzing nutrients, organic matter, and moisture to optimize growth conditions.
- MORFO Dash: A centralized dashboard to track over 20 KPIs, including hectares restored, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity metrics.
Together, these tools create a seamless, data-driven approach to large-scale ecosystem restoration. Are you ready to transform your reforestation projects with MORFO SeedlingID? Contact us today to learn more about how our tools can help you restore ecosystems at scale.
Together, we can build forests that thrive for generations to come.
