Had the honour today to meet the President of South Africa KewGardens to talk about our new project with TRAFFIC and SA Biodiversity on the illegal online trade of succulents





Come join us at KewGardens in an exciting new role for the World Forest ID Programme, which aims at building georeferenced databases to halt deforestation: careers.kew.org/vacancy/projec…

We are on the lookout for a Collections Manager to help @KewScience build the World Forest ID reference collection. Find out more here and please share! careers.kew.org/vacancy/projec…




Scientists are developing forensic tools to uncover illegally logged timber. New research from Wageningen U&R, Laura E Boeschoten, @Pieter_Zuidema, comments from Victor Deklerck, story by Rishika Pardikar. eos.org/articles/finge…


Houtwetenschappers van ENFORCE bevestigen illegale houtsmokkel uit Rusland, ondanks het verbod sinds de invasie in Oekraïne. Dankzij een goede samenwerking tussen de federale inspectie Leefmilieu, ENFORCE en World Forest ID is wetenschappelijk bewijs voor houtsmokkel gevonden!

Check our our new paper in Nature Plants. These timber tracing models were used in the recent investigation into Russian wood-based panels entering Belgium: brusselstimes.com/947366/over-26…


Nice work by Victor Deklerck and team on tracking illegal timber. Gaussian processes offer a flexible framework to bring in prior domain knowledge into the modeling. nytimes.com/2024/04/09/sci…

Here we unveil 33 global priorities for plant collecting where current evidence suggests there will be most scientific discoveries. #biodiversity #conservation @KewScience Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre Naturvetenskap/GU Open Access at doi.org/10.1111/nph.20…

Our collaborators at World Forest ID led this important work on combating illegal logging, now published in Ecological Applications. Given chemical compositions of oak samples, the model pinpoints harvest locations to within ~ 323 miles of the true harvest GPS points. This
