Digitalizing Green: QR Code Based Plant Accessing System For Awareness And Conservation

Abstract

In an era where Urbanization and environmental degradation challenge the health of natural Ecosystem, the connection between people and nature diminishes, leading to a loss of awareness about the importance of biodiversity, particularly trees. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted at the RIT College campus in 2024, aimed at documenting the plant species present and categorizing them based on their fruit-bearing, Flower-bearing, medicinal benefits, and other uses, including industrial and ecological applications .We have created a PDF document containing detailed information about the plant, which will be used to generate a QR code for easy access. The QR codes providing detailed plant information are implanting on specific plants across the campus. This innovation allowed students, faculty, and visitors to interact with the campus flora by scanning the QR codes. The initiative received positive feedback, showcasing its role in fostering environmental awareness and engagement while promoting the significance of campus biodiversity. This paper explores the potential of QR code-based systems to enhance the accessibility of tree-related information, examining their technical implementation, case studies, and broader implications for ecological education, public engagement, and environmental conservation.
