Fig. 6 Tree information after scanning the QR code and options
and provides quick, handy useful information about the trees of their interest in
seconds. This effort may lead to protect the plants and maintain the environmental
sustainability. In the future, the work can be extended with the IUCN status of the
tree, which indicates whether the tree belongs to endangered species or not. That
will motivate the students to conserve such endangered species by growing them in
their place. Also, the QR code tagging system will be extended for bio-parks with a
large number of species as a service to the society.
