We are proud to launch the beta for Asian Heritage Silva. 🌳

Treating sacred trees in Monsoon Asia as "bio-cultural artefacts." From Wat Pa Daeng to Bali, we are mapping the divine.

How do you map the sacred? 🗺️

We combine GIS technology with ethnographic field notes to create a typological classification of sacred trees.

It's not just about "where" they are, but "why" they matter to the local community.

Not just a botanical specimen, but a living monument. 🏛️

This Ficus religiosa at Ton Pho Si Maha Pho has stood for over 2000 years, witnessing the rise and fall of kingdoms.

Our archive documents not just the species, but the stories etched into its bark.
