name organization country Should the webpages include additional categories for timber identification resources? If yes, please specify 0 Felipe Bernardino Guimar?es IBAMA Brazil No 1 Felipe Bernardino Guimar?es IBAMA Brazil No 2 Hector Nieba Environment and Climate Change Canada Canada Wood ID Kit with tools and Equipment for wood inspections, Video tutorials on Wood ID with differents techniques,\nUp to date CITES-Listed wood ID Guides.\n 3 Michael Monnoye Royal Museum for Central Africa Belgium It could be nice to be able to search for labs (CITES approved or not CITES approved) that performscientific servicesforeveryone in timber identification. I did not find such a filter or category now. Same goes for searching for timber identification data type (like in question C-12). Same goes for the difference (could be represented by categories) between identification and origin determination. Seecomment at the end of the questionnaire. 4 NaN Endangered Species Scientific Commission, PRC China No 5 Michael C. Wiemann USDA Forest Products Laboratory USA No additional categories needed. 6 Mr. Wichai AIYAKOOL Department of Agriculture Thailand To support effective implementation of CITES regulations, it is recommended that timber identificationtoolsbe systematically linked with authoritative CITES databases — including the CITES Checklist and Species+—toensure coherent and up-to-date species information across platforms used by enforcement, regulatory, andscientific authorities 7 David Mahabir Scientific Authority to CITES & Wildlife Biologist/ Head of Wildlife Section (Ministry of Agriculture, Landand Fisheries Trinidad and Tobago Training Modules and Tutorials – to support capacity building for customs officers, enforcement agents, andfieldpersonnel. Case Studies and Best Practices – showcasing how timber identification tools have been successfully appliedinenforcement or trade monitoring. Regulatory Frameworks and National Guidelines – linking timber ID with legal instruments across countries likeTrinidad and Tobago. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – offering quick guidance for new users of the repository. 8 NaN Meise Botanic Garden Belgium I think this webpage needs a clear overview on the different scientific techniques, before overloading the user withInformation. In addition, I think it could use a section on who offers services for wood identification (and potentiallytracing although less relevant for CITES). Although those institutions are listed (once diving deeper into the menu), it isunclear which services they are attached to. 9 Alexandre Bahia Gontijo Forest Products Laboratory / Brazilian Forest Service / Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Brazil Perhaps information on institutions that provide training courses in identification. Information on methods of samplingwood for research may also be useful. 10 Isabelle Duchesne Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service Canada I do not think so. 11 Andrew Lowe and Melita Low The University of Adelaide Australia The resources currently presented mainly focus on wood anatomy, it would also be useful in the future to start\nincorporating other wood and provenance ID methods and standards 12 Manuel Chavesta Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina Peru No 13 Ratih Damayanti National Research and Innovation Agency Indonesia Yes.

For example, links to international training initiatives or university-based timber IDcourses. 18 Tereza Cristina Monteiro Pastore Laboratório de Produtos Florestais/ Servi?o Florestal Brasileiro Brazil No, but they must be open to the inclusion of new categories 19 NaN Guardia di Finanza Italy A faster and more practical method for recognizing operations on field would be ideal (i.e. a mobile applikeCITESwoodID is not mentioned listed in the resources). 20 Fernando Nunes Gouveia Servi?o Florestal Brasileiro Brasil No es necesario. Es suficiente 21 NaN Corporación Nacional Forestal / INFOR Chile De acuerdo con las categorías existentes 22 Carmen Y. Medina G. Ministerio de Ambiente – Autoridad Administrativa CITES Panamá La página mantiene bien descrita las categorías 23 Hyun Mi Lee National Institute of Forest Science Korea Yes, Including categories for AI wood identification would be a great help to the legal timber trade.

表格占位:name organization country Should the webpages include additional search filters? If yes, please specify 0 Felipe Bernardino Guimar?es IBAMA Brazil No 1 Felipe Bernardino Guimar?es IBAMA Brazil No 2 Hans Beeckman Royal Museum for Central Africa Belgium CITES is about countries and species, but many decisions are based on non-detrimental findings for carrying capacityof populations. It would be good to consider databasing the information not only on species, but on specimens andtheirprecise provenances. This type of databases would gradually allow tracking the origin of timber, supported by informationon spectra of trace elements in the wood and possibly also DNA 3 Hector Nieba Environment and Climate Change Canada Canada Year 4 NaN Endangered Species Scientific Commission, PRC China Yes, Methods and techniques, for example, Macroscopic ID, Microscopic ID, ID based on physical-chemical properties, NIR-FTIR-XRD, Stable isotope, DNA barcoding et al., Wood anatomy database comparison;\nLanguages used 5 Michael C. Wiemann USDA Forest Products Laboratory USA No 6 Mr. Wichai AIYAKOOL Department of Agriculture Thailand The content available on the webpage is thorough and adequately covers the necessary information. 7 David Mahabir Scientific Authority to CITES & Wildlife Biologist/ Head of Wildlife Section (Ministry of Agriculture, Landand Fisheries Trinidad and Tobago Yes, the webpages should include additional search filters. Suggested additions are: ? Language of Resource – to help non-English-speaking users access relevant materials. ? Date of Publication – to allow filtering by the most recent or updated resources. ? CITES Appendix Listing – to filter resources by the CITES Appendix I, II, or III status. ? Target Audience – such as researchers, enforcement officers, customs, policymakers, etc. ? Type of Identification Method Used – such as wood anatomy, DNA analysis, spectroscopy, etc 8 Alexandre Bahia Gontijo Forest Products Laboratory / Brazilian Forest Service / Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Brazil No 9 Isabelle Duchesne Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service Canada Maybe a filter for timber identification methods (wood anatomy, chemical signature, genetics) could be explored. 10 Andrew Lowe and Melita Low The University of Adelaide Australia Family, genus and species would be helping and arranged in alphabetical order. 11 Manuel Chavesta Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina Peru No 12 Ratih Damayanti National Research and Innovation Agency Indonesia Enough 13 NaN Thünen-Institute of Wood Research and Thünen-Institute of Forest Genetics\nThünen-Centre of Competence on the Origin of Timber Germany Integration of Targeted search function for the relevant methods and available databases\nComment: It has been observed that certain search functions (results) are overly broad in their scope, which requires\nfurther complex differentiation 14 Thomas Leuteritz (Acting Chief, US Scientific Authority) on behalf of USDA Forest Service USDA Forest Service International Programs & Trade - Wood Identification & Screening Center (WISC) USA "Country of Publication" seems like a redundant filter when "Region" has significantly more areas for filtering. The advanced search also seems to reset itself every time you change something which is a little bothersome, I\nrecognize that the search begins automatically at the time of filter selection, but I would recommend adding a"Search"button so that all desired filters can be selected at the same time. Filter or link to CITES Checklist of Species 15 NaN China CITES Management Authority(CCMA) China Suggested additions: Language options (e.g., English, Chinese, Spanish, etc.), Publication year range, Researchinstitution/author, Keyword tags, Open access status, Document type (e.g., journal articles, technical reports, etc.)) 16 Listya Mustika Dewi National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Indonesia Yes, adding additional search filters would significantly enhance the usability and relevance of the CITES Timber\nIdentification Resource webpages. - Intended user such as enforcement, scientific, training, policy 17 Tereza Cristina Monteiro Pastore Laboratório de Produtos Florestais/ Servi?o Florestal Brasileiro Brazil I think web page filters are enough 18 NaN Guardia di Finanza Italy A faster system with matching images is needed. Sometimes you cannot get any result even after waitingfor 20minutes.

表格占位:name organization country What are the current limitations of the webpages in terms of design, usability, and functionality? Are there any\nfunctions or use scenarios that are still missing? Please share any additional suggestions 0 Hans Beeckman Royal Museum for Central Africa Belgium It would be good to give the InsideWood database a more prominent position. It is not one of the many databases, butitti the most complete and probably the most used worldwide. At the same time it is also the most useful identificationkeywith as well text based descriptions and images 1 Hector Nieba Environment and Climate Change Canada Canada Everyone now a days has a smartphone, all the information also should be adapted to use it on this devices.\nFor example CITES Checklist should be available on apps like Species+ 2 Michael Monnoye Royal Museum for Central Africa Belgium Using the keyword search function is annoying because it automatically searches when I type something, evenif thewordis not complete. It's better if it would search only when hitting enter or the search icon. 3 NaN Endangered Species Scientific Commission, PRC China The advanced search doesn't need to display "project" and "resource type", as the later is duplicates of thewebsite'scategories 4 Michael C. Wiemann USDA Forest Products Laboratory USA They contain limited information. 5 Mr. Wichai AIYAKOOL Department of Agriculture Thailand Overall, the webpage provides comprehensive information with well-organized content arranged intoclearcategories. 6 David Mahabir Scientific Authority to CITES & Wildlife Biologist/ Head of Wildlife Section (Ministry of Agriculture, Landand Fisheries Trinidad and Tobago Current limitations: ? The interface is not fully intuitive, especially for first-time users unfamiliar with technical identificationmethods. ? Mobile responsiveness is limited, making it difficult to access in field conditions where laptops are not available. ? Search filters are too broad, limiting the ability to quickly narrow results to region-specific or species-specificdatarelevant to Trinidad and Tobago. ? There is no dedicated user feedback or contribution portal, preventing users from suggesting updates or\nsubmitting new data directly. ? Loading times can be inconsistent, particularly when accessing multimedia content or external links. Missing functions or use scenarios: ? A "Quick ID tool" or simplified workflow to guide non-expert users through a step-by-step identificationprocess.? Integration with field tools (e.g., mobile apps or QR-coded field manuals) for real-time use by enforcement andcustoms officers. ? A repository update alert feature, notifying users when new regional or species-specific resources are added. Suggestions: ? Develop a mobile-friendly version of the site or a companion app. ? Include introductory videos or tutorials in multiple languages for beginners. ? Create custom dashboards for different user groups (e.g., law enforcement, researchers, policymakers). 7 NaN Meise Botanic Garden Belgium Needs a button to automatically go back to the home page 8 Alexandre Bahia Gontijo Forest Products Laboratory / Brazilian Forest Service / Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Brazil It may be interesting to have an AI assistant integrated into the platform to help with data consultation and interpretation. 9 Isabelle Duchesne Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service Canada This is a minor comment, but 'boxes' (showing institutions/resources) appear big on the webpages, maybe they couldberedesigned/downsized to capture a little bit more information on a single webpage to limit scrolling pages down. 10 Andrew Lowe and Melita Low The University of Adelaide Australia Displaying the documents for each of the resources in alphabetical order would be helpful. Also displaying the entriesunder the Taxonomic Group drop down menu in the advanced search in alphabetical order would be helpful. A search function that is able to search the text within the documents in addition to the document names wouldbeincredibly helpful so I could search for my taxa of interest and be presented with all the documents that are relevant. Once I had selected a resource the only way I could return to the Timber Identification Resources and Tools homepagewas to use the back option in my search browser. An option for navigating straight back to this home page wouldbehelpful. 11 Manuel Chavesta Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina Peru No 12 Ratih Damayanti National Research and Innovation Agency Indonesia Enough, but if the website provides list of CITES species and macroscopic images in a separate category/folder, itwill be very useful 13 NaN Thünen-Institute of Wood Research and Thünen-Institute of Forest Genetics\nThünen-Centre of Competence on the Origin of Timber Germany See above, the search functions should be expanded and optimized, and the entries are often outdated or no longer\napplicable\nConcretely for the Thünen Institute: updating of the links\nThe Scientific Wood Collection (Xylotheque) of the Thünen Institute in Hamburg\nWebsite (EN): https://www.thuenen.de/en/thuenen-institute/infrastructure/the-thuenen-centre-of-competence-on-theorigin-of-timber/the-scientific-wood-collection-xylothek-1\nWebsite (DE): https://www.thuenen.de/de/thuenen-institut/verbundstrukturen/thuenen-kompetenzzentrumholzherkuenfte/die-wissenschaftliche-holzsammlung-xylothek-1 14 Thomas Leuteritz (Acting Chief, US Scientific Authority) on behalf of USDA Forest Service USDA Forest Service International Programs & Trade - Wood Identification & Screening Center (WISC) USA It is not a limitation but, I noticed that when I select Collections and Xylotheques and I filtered by US it appears\ncollections from other countries. I would suggest including a field where can take you direct to the check list of CITESappendix. The filter function in the "Institutions, organizations, networks and consortiums" section doesn't seemto work. If youclick "See more from Institutions, organizations, networks and consortiums" (for example) and use the advancedfilterfor Asia or North America it includes many organizations that are not located in those regions. I understand it couldbea keyword issue, but if wood identification services are needed in a particular part of the world it would be uselesstoinclude organizations that are not easily reached (e.g., Kew Botanical Gardens showing up in the North Americasearch)There are no headers when you enter a "See more" section to indicate which section you are in. It would be nicetohave the information readily available. And including a "Return to Main Page" or something of that nature wouldbegreat so the user doesn't have to click the back button a bunch. 15 NaN China CITES Management Authority(CCMA) China Design: Non-intuitive layout, unclear visual hierarchy; poor mobile responsiveness; lack of multilingual support. Usability: Search lacks smart features (e.g., autocomplete/spell-check); filtered results cannot be sorted; complexnavigation. Functionality gaps: No personalized user accounts (e.g., bookmarks/history); missing data visualization tools (e.g., charts); no social sharing/collaboration features. Interaction: Advanced search syntax, batch downloads, real-time chat (e.g., AI assistant) 16 Listya Mustika Dewi National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Indonesia No user feedback or rating mechanism\n- Live help or chatbot to help user find tools or suggest best resources\n- Resource comparison. For example, comparing ID tools side-by-side by feature, method or coverage. 17 Tereza Cristina Monteiro Pastore Laboratório de Produtos Florestais/ Servi?o Florestal Brasileiro Brazil I think the web pages are comprehensive. 18 NaN Guardia di Finanza Italy It would be ideal to have webpages with multiple languages, as only few are available. 19 Fernando Nunes Gouveia Servi?o Florestal Brasileiro Brasil Entiendo que poner a disposición imágenes en alta resolución de cortes tangenciales de las especies\nde madera podría ser de gran ayuda. 20 NaN Corporación Nacional Forestal / INFOR Chile Se considera que una de las principales limitaciones es que no están todos los recursos en los idiomas oficiales(ej.Espa?ol). 21 Carmen Y. Medina G. Ministerio de Ambiente – Autoridad Administrativa CITES Panamá La página esta bien detallada (CITES) y es accesible 22 Hyun Mi Lee National Institute of Forest Science Korea I would like to make one suggestion. Most of it is well-organized. However, it is not easy to find information and access the necessary parts on the webpage for non-English countries. So I think it is necessary to make accessibility and guidance easier. There are so many materials(information), but there will be many acsses where they are not seen because they cannot find them. 23 NaN PROCURADURíA FEDERAL DE PROTECCóN AL AMBIENTE México Al momento, se considera adecuado para su uso por personal especializado o no especializado.

These genera represent prioritygroupsforenhanced monitoring, regulation, and enforcement efforts under international conservation frameworks 7 David Mahabir Scientific Authority to CITES & Wildlife Biologist/ Head of Wildlife Section (Ministry of Agriculture, Landand Fisheries Trinidad and Tobago Scientific Authority Cedrela odorata (Spanish Cedar)\nReason: Native to Trinidad and Tobago and highly valued for its timber. There is frequent cross-border trade andriskofillegal logging. Accurate identification is crucial for enforcement and sustainable use. Swietenia macrophylla (Bigleaf Mahogany)\nReason: Found in trade across Latin America and the Caribbean. As a valuable hardwood, it is vulnerable to illegal\nexploitation. Enhanced identification tools are needed for customs and forestry officials. Dalbergia spp. (Rosewoods, including Brazilian Rosewood)\nReason: Though not native, these species are often transshipped or used in high-end furniture and instruments intheregion. Improved identification supports international monitoring and compliance. Guaiacum officinale (Lignum Vitae)\nReason: Native and critically endangered. Its extremely dense wood is still in demand for specialty uses. Resourcestoaidin distinguishing it from other hardwoods would be valuable for conservation and enforcement.

Obtaining a large number of samples from different locations is always difficult. Another major challenge for our institution is the lack of specialized personnel in research areas. Replenishing\nresearchers has been problematic, since many senior researchers have retired and there are not enough replacementsto meet the growing demand for research. The development of consortia of research institutions that can share samples already collected and organize joint\ncollecting expeditions could be an important solution to these problems. 10 Isabelle Duchesne Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service Canada Scientific Authority#Other stakeholders:Others Governmental (Federal) Research Continue the research and implement it. 11 Andrew Lowe and Melita Low The University of Adelaide Australia Scientific Authority Approaches to governemnts and agencies that have timber legality policies (EU, Aus, US, Japan etc) to informoncurrentstate of play and support development of future resouces is important. 12 Manuel Chavesta Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina Peru Scientific Authority It will be useful to have a workshop between countries to try the different technologies and to share experiences to pick the best one according to different regions. 13 Ratih Damayanti National Research and Innovation Agency Indonesia Scientific Authority Promote the need of wood identification in all international cross fora meeting related to timber trade/timberuse; mandatory testing of wood species for the industries in exporting and importing 14 NaN Thünen-Institute of Wood Research and Thünen-Institute of Forest Genetics\nThünen-Centre of Competence on the Origin of Timber Germany Scientific Authority#Other stakeholders:Research affiliations The application of artificial intelligence (deep learning methods) will undoubtedly be of great importance for the\napplication of the various methods and will facilitate progress, so that networking with IT expertise and data\nmanagement is of great relevance.\nThe use of Next Generation Sequencing methods for genetic analyses would definitely improve the accuracy of the\nidentification in some cases. However, there is still a lot of work to develop such methods on timber material.\n 15 Thomas Leuteritz (Acting Chief, US Scientific Authority) on behalf of USDA Forest Service USDA Forest Service International Programs & Trade - Wood Identification & Screening Center (WISC) USA Other stakeholders:Others _U.S. Government Forestry Specialists___________ I think transparency about the strengths and limitations of certain methods is really important, and including\ninformation on the general costs associated with each method would be beneficial. I realize there is a chart by Espinozathat contains a general idea but knowing that a method like Isotope Ration Mass Spectrometry (IRMS aka SIRA) costs~ 600/sample and trace elements (ICP MS) costs ~$30 is important information for countries that are interestedingeographic identification.
