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.

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.
