World Forest ID 637-B South Broadway, #118 Boulder, CO [email protected] Using science to take deforestation off the shopping listUsing science to take deforestation off the shopping listMuch of what we buy comes from land that should not have been deforested. This is because the methods we use to verify where a product comes from don’t work – they are inefficient, paper-based and open to fraud. World Forest ID has developed a way to overcome this problem by using scientific analyses to test a product’s origin based on its physical properties.All plants have chemical, genetic and anatomical signatures that are specific to their species and location of origin. By creating a detailed library of geo-referenced plant samples from around the world we can enable end products to be tested against this library to see if they originate from where they claim. With such accurate, indisputable data, we’re making it possible for people to consume responsibly and for governments to prosecute criminal behaviour.DONATE How does our solution work COLLECTIONTo accurately reference the origins of consumer products, we collect samples from forests and agricultural land around the world with sufficient density to create a global map of samples. ANALYSISOnce collected, each sample is analysed to provide a unique chemical, genetic and anatomical signature that’s specific to its species and location. When complete, this information is added to our library. COMPARISONBy applying the same analysis to consumer products, matches can be found within our reference library to identify what the product is and where it originated. Build our library, protect the world's forests Build our library, protect the world's forestsOur challenge is to build a library of reference samples from around the world in sufficient detail to enable any consumer product to be tested against this to determine its origin. Many of our samples have to be collected from remote locations, so the funds we raise are needed to support collection expeditions on the ground as well as providing the collection kits themselves. All private donations go towards the many sample collectors working in each country to help us build this library.
