The objective of the World Forest ID is to collect georeferenced physical wood samples from at-risk forests across the globe and help build international analytic capacity whereby partner laboratories can assist in developing reference databases.

The Risk Tool, a project of the Forest Legality Alliance in cooperation with partners around the world, helps users ask informed questions about where their forest products come from and what issues a buyer might encounter. Information about forest products and legality is presented by country and by species.

The Open Timber Portal (OTP) is a web platform that promotes compliance with legal requirements in timber harvest and trade. It seeks to bring transparency to timber operations and improve access to country-specific information about forest management and harvesting, while increasing the effectiveness of regulations on illegal logging.
