TimberStats

TimberStats is a new, interactive, data-driven platform that will aid law enforcement and governments in monitoring the timber trade and detecting illegal shipments.

Red Flag Indicators for Wildlife and Timber Trafficking in Containerized Sea Cargo

Compendium that aims to capture the most common red flag indicators for illegal wildlife trade (IWT) happening through containerized sea cargo. It aims to guide and assist the maritime shipping sector in detecting possible non-compliance and IWT-related activities in their supply chains. It also provides recommendations and links to existing tools and best practices to help companies prevent further exploitation from traffickers.

ARBOR HARBOR

A reference system linking information on trees and their global trade, especially species at risk of over harvesting. The system integrates data on taxonomy, conservation, geography, and trade regulations, all acquired from online databases or primary literature. Intended users include professionals or enthusiasts working with forest resources and their sustainable use.

XYLOTRON

A complete, self-contained, multi-illumination, field-deployable, open-source platform for field imaging and identification of forest products at the macroscopic scale. The XyloTron platform integrates an imaging system build with off-the-shelf components, flexible illumination options with visible and UV light sources, software for camera control, and deep learning models for identification.

Stardust

Dust-like material that can be sprayed onto wood and detected only with a hand-held device. Stardust has the potential to be applied to timber and pulp and paper products as a cheaper alternative to bar-codes, radio-frequency identification (RFID) and other tracking technologies. Stardust is applied via microscope optical markers, thus promised to be precise, hand-held and practical in-field detection devices. There are multiple markers available that should provide instant authentication.

TreeTAG

Smartphone-based supply chain traceability system developed by TreeTAG Technologies, Inc that tracks the location of logs transported from the forest to the mill. It was piloted in Guatemala and is since no longer active or available for use.

SEINEF

Web platform that requires actors along the supply chain to enter volume and authorization information. The system allows government officials and law enforcement officers to follow the flow of timber products from the forest to buyers, and identify discrepancies in volumes, species and products reported.
