Wild / Monsoon Flowers of Chicalim

Chicalim Bio-Crusader members carried out a sustained campaign from 2022-23 to document the wild flowers of Chicalim. We are proud to declare that we have managed to document over 200 species of wild flowers from the wild areas of Chicalim, Dabolim and Sao Jacinto Island. Our members took the pain to zealously locate and photograph this collection. This may qualify as the only such type of community effort carried out anywhere in the world on a voluntary basis. Prof. Hector Andrade helped identify all the wild and local flowers with their scientific names.
