Summary
A number of projects aimed at introducing Lesser Used Species (LUS) to the national and international markets have been implemented by local, national, regional and international institutions including projects financed by ITTO. As a result, a large amount of knowledge have been accumulated and kept in stock. However, in practice, there are some difficulties in utilizing these outputs intended for relevant officials, private sectors and other interested parties because of the lack of an integrated and holistic database.

In this respect, this project seeks to make a comprehensive database of the tropical timber species available, especially LUS, for all interested parties by compiling existing data and relevant information collected within projects funded by ITTO but also other national/international schemes.
