4 STEPS TO A RESILIENT FOREST
01
MORFO analyzes the restoration potential of the proposed area.
02
Once the area is validated, the project structure is defined jointly with the landowner, including land-use conditions and long-term forest maintenance commitments.
03
Species selection prioritizes local and endemic species, validated with stakeholders. Restoration designs maximize biodiversity to recreate resilient native forest ecosystems.
04
MORFO provides regular monitoring throughout the project, using drone and satellite imagery of the terrain.

MORFO’s soil regeneration solution is based on a science-driven approach that integrates soil diagnostics, seedpods, artificial intelligence, and drone technology.This integrated methodology restores soil fertility, supports biodiversity recovery, and enables long-term, measurable ecosystem regeneration.
Ecological succession describes how a forest ecosystem progressively moves from one stage to another, following a disturbance, whether they be natural or caused by human activity.
Of the 6 stages of forest growth, reforestation is often only used during three stages, aiming to accelerate growth. At MORFO, for example, our interventions focus on the following three stages:
>Perennial herbaceous stage
Thanks to these fast-growing plants, soils begin to recover and insects and animals reappear. Ecosystem reconstitution begins.
>Pioneer species stage
This stage is crucial to launch the forest basis, since it plays a fixation role.
>Fast-growing tree species stage
The planting of these species accelerates vegetation cover growth. It is important to adapt density ratios according to the forest's development stage.
We pay particular attention forest growth and health by monitoring biomass, biodiversity, and carbon stocks, though in-depth regular analyses. This helps us diagnose any issues or low success rates so that they can be resolved, for example through future planting.
MORFO uses many tools to carry out accurate and regular monitoring: drone and satellite imagery, artificial intelligence, on-the-field analyses, and more.
MORFO reforestation monitoring is regular and long-term. It extends over a period of 5 to 30 years. This period varies according to the complexity and scale of the project, as well as conservation and preservation objectives.
Tree growth rates vary depending on species, site conditions, and ecosystem context. In tropical and subtropical regions, favorable climate conditions generally support faster and more continuous growth throughout the year.
Rather than focusing on individual tree growth, MORFO designs restoration projects to rebuild complete ecosystems. Species diversity, soil conditions, and long-term monitoring are key factors influencing forest development over time.
Over 1,000 people have already worked directly or indirectly with MORFO in Brazil, Gabon, French Guiana and France. What's more, MORFO allocates 1/3 of its budget to local stakeholders.
We are convinced that close collaboration with local stakeholders is essential for the long-term success of our projects. By working with local stakeholders, we are able to improve the quality of future reforestations by better understanding the characteristics of the area in question.
Local communities are involved in all stages of MORFO's solution:
> Consultation and planning
Local inclusion begins with public consultation, gathering feedback and expectations from local communities. This feedback is then used to adapt projects, taking into account aspects such as species to be planted, planting methods, follow-up periods, forest exploitation, and local stakeholders' needs and expectations.
> Seed collection and plantation preparation
We work closely with local stakeholders to collect seeds, prepare the land and monitor reforestation projects over the long term. We collaborate with local associations to provide valuable assistance in setting up projects, and in some cases, to help with planting in the traditional way.
