The Forest Data Bank is a data warehouse that collects and aggregates information, updates it, collates it, and analyzes it, then makes it available in a variety of ways. It presents information based on measurable parameters that allow for the description of native forest resources in a standardized manner. This allows for the creation of analyses that present a reliable picture of the country's forest resources. This data is collected regularly, which also allows for the development of long-term analyses and future forecasts.
