Open Timber Portal
The Open Timber Portal is an initiative launched by the World Resources Institute to incentivize the production and trade of legal timber. The OTP compiles information from three different sources: official concession boundaries and the list of registered timber producers from the government; documents uploaded voluntarily by timber producers to demonstrate compliance; and observations by third party forest monitors.
