Applied Research Institute – Jerusalem (ARIJ) and Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education inventory identifies tree species that inhabit forests of the West Bank using GIS-application and phyto-geographical interpretation in an effort to establish a herbarium and a database of the surveyed plant specimens. It gathers information on species, family, and habitat levels, including classification, conservation status, economical value, and eco-geographic location. Some reports are only available in Arabic. This source is valuable for environmental researchers and conservationists studying Palestinian ecology and documents forest species as part of Palestine's natural heritage.
