Africa Tree Finder

Discover an indispensable tool for landscape restoration and agroforestry projects: the Africa Tree Finder app. Designed to serve a diverse group of stakeholders, including local community members, government agencies, private sector owners, and land managers, this platform offers a wealth of information on indigenous tree species in Kenya and Uganda.

Main Purpose of the App:

Africa Tree Finder assists in selecting the ideal tree species for various landscape restoration and agroforestry needs by offering detailed data on species distribution within different natural vegetation types.

Features & Advantages:

One of its greatest features is its ability to suggest tree species that best suit the requirements for wood-based products, human and animal consumption, and environmental services. In addition, the platform provides local names for tree species, along with key insights into their propagation, seed treatment, storage, and management needs.

The foundation of the data comes from the comprehensive vegetationmap4africa, which details the vegetation types and their respective species composition. Species descriptions are bolstered with information sourced from the RELMA-ICRAF Useful Tree Species series.

While the current maps in the game cover only Kenya and Uganda, there is an ambition to expand coverage to include more East African countries in the future.

Utilize Africa Tree Finder to make well-informed decisions for your land management projects. Leverage this intelligent solution to enhance both the productivity and sustainability of your landscapes.
