Abstract

The preservation of plant biodiversity in Algeria represents a key environmental priority, as the country faces increasing climatic and anthropogenic pressures threatening its ecosystems. In the absence of specialized national digital platforms for documenting and studying local flora, this research aims to design a prototype of an integrated digital platform dedicated to Algerian plants, intended to organize botanical data and facilitate scientific and educational access. The study adopted a dual methodology, combining descriptive–analytical and applied developmental approaches. Initially, the current state of Algerian plant diversity was analyzed using international sources such as GBIF, World Flora Online, and UNEP reports. Subsequently, a digital architecture was designed using PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to establish an open and structured database of native plant species. Preliminary results indicate that digital tools can play a crucial role in collecting, organizing, and displaying scientific information related to local flora. The developed model demonstrates the feasibility of building an interactive and educational interface that supports learning and research in the field of biodiversity. This work highlights the potential of digitalization as a foundation for sustainable environmental information systems that can strengthen biodiversity education and management in Algeria. The study recommends fostering collaboration among universities, research centers, and environmental institutions to enrich and sustain such platforms, as they represent an essential step toward preserving Algeria’s natural heritage and promoting environmental awareness.
