FlorestaDB

Functionality & Mechanism

This field data collection system enables organizations and law enforcement to systematically capture reference sample data and information for arboreal specimens. The platform is designed for in-situ data acquisition, allowing users to log key characteristics of trees in specific geographic locations. This information is compiled into a database structured for subsequent scientific analysis. The resulting repository functions as a reference standard, allowing analysts to compare the characteristics of wood-based merchandise against known samples to assist in verifying compliance with legal logging regulations.

Intended Use & Scope

This tool is designed for use by environmental organizations, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement agencies involved in timber tracking and anti-deforestation initiatives. Its primary scope is to facilitate the creation of a reference database to support the verification of timber provenance. Data quality depends on user input. This app is designed for contribution to research, not individual decision-making.
