For forestry workers, it is urgent to summarize, sort out and develop the international tree species database. Based on this, we share the most comprehensive database of the world’s tree species—GlobalTreeSearch. Through that, you could:

• Search 60,000 tree species names and their country distributions.

• Find out the geographical distribution of a tree species.

• Discover all tree species found in a country and download a checklist.

About GlobalTreeSearch

GlobalTreeSearch is the most comprehensive list of tree species and their country-level distributions. It was published in 2017 following over two years of work gathering both tree species names and their country level distributions. This database is not static and is being continuously updated as new information becomes available. Our intention is for GlobalTreeSearch to be used as a tool for monitoring and managing tree species diversity, forests and carbon stocks on a global, regional or national level. It is also used as the basis of the Global Tree Assessment, coordinated by BGCI and the IUCN/SSC Global Tree Specialist Group (GTSG), which is undertaking conservation assessments for all of the world’s tree species with the aim of having a published IUCN Red List assessment for every tree species by 2023.
