BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 23. More than 87,000
trees have been electronically registered in Azerbaijan, Minister
of Ecology and Natural Resources Rashad Ismayilov said in an
interview with Trend International News Agency and ARB24 TV
channel.
"A digital accounting of trees is being carried out in the
country. Currently, more than 87,000 trees have been entered into
the electronic system, and information about their condition can be
obtained via QR code," he explained.
The minister noted that since 2025, work has been started on
digital registration of trees in cities. Mainly in the center of
Baku, trees are coded, and special signs are installed on them.
Through the QR code, citizens can obtain complete information about
that tree by phone, and even express their position or
suggestion.
"This is considered by the relevant departments of the Ministry
of Ecology and Natural Resources, applications are responded to,
and appropriate measures are taken if necessary. Such practices
exist in many countries, but we have further improved this process.
Registration has been organized on a general map through the
agac.az website. This system allows to detect the location of the
tree by reading the QR code or entering the code on the tree into
the site.
The pilot project has started in the Sabail district, and more
than 87,000 trees have already been registered. Interest in the
project has also been shown in other cities; these works have also
been started in Sumgayit, Ganja, and Mingachevir," he added.
