Once implemented the improved system will allow better control over timber movements and will strengthen efforts to combat environmental degradation and illegal logging.
The main improvement in Sisflora 2 will be a georeferencing feature where individual trees will be tracked by REFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips which will be placed at the base of trees to be logged and on subsequent billets transported.
Sisflora 2 is being developed in response to new demands in the international market requiring proof of legality. Despite the additional cost to timber producers the investment will assure overseas buyers of the legal origin of exports from the state.
