Time to scale up!
Two new resources to accelerate forest restoration
Dear Morfollower,
In this edition of our newsletter, we’re excited to share two exclusive resources our team has created to help advance reforestation:
TIME TO SCALE UP: An informative infographic to print, share, and raise awareness about the current state of reforestation.
DEFINING FOREST RESTORATION QUALITY CRITERIA: Our contribution to accelerating alignment on these common criteria, helping to improve the quality of all restoration projects.
Whether you’re enjoying summer in the North or winter in the South (and if you’re in Brazil, note that this newsletter is now available in Portuguese), we hope these resources inspire and inform your efforts.
Happy reading,
Pascal Asselin
Co-founder, MORFO
📊 A new infographic by MORFO
The need to accelerate global reforestation is more urgent than ever. The UN aims to restore 1 billion hectares of forest by 2030, but so far, we’ve only achieved 5% of that goal. This infographic provides an overview of what’s at stake when discussing reforestation.
Download it, share it, and use it as much as you can—this resource is 100% free.
🌱 Defining high-quality criteria for reforestation
High-quality forest restoration projects ensure sustainable ecosystems, maximize biodiversity, and enhance climate resilience, securing long-term environmental and economic benefits. They represent the future of restoration efforts and are urgently needed.
This month, we are excited to announce the release of our new exclusive paper, "Defining Forest Restoration Quality Criteria." This paper is MORFO’s contribution to accelerating the establishment of common standards, making it easier for investors to support high-quality projects.
