Search support: ActionApps, database

Forests Monitor investigates the forest industry to empower forest-dependent people and raise public awareness, as part of an effort to increase transparency and accountability of the sector.
In 2006 Forests Monitor had a static presence on the web, and they asked us to rebuild the site so that it could make a greater contribution to supporting the transparency and outreach work of the organisation. We used ActionApps to create a database backend for the site. This allowed for easy updating of all sections by FM staff, as well as the integration of the hitherto separate ASP database of forestry projects, into the main site.
