is the terminological database for forestry that is being built by SilvaVoc, IUFRO‘s project on forest terminology. Terminology being living expert knowledge, this is not a static database, but a continuing process of change and revision.

At present, the database is based mainly on terms and equivalent terms of a trilingual forestry vocabulary produced by T.B. Yerke, USA. This basic stock of terms is regularly improved with definitions and additional terms by the IUFRO Units in the following languages:

• English
• French
• Spanish
• German
• Italian
• Portuguese
• Hungarian
• Swahili
• Japanese (Romanji characters; for Kanji characters search the parallel version in Japan: http://f9010.ffpri-109.affrc.go.jp/forterm/)
