[Talk-in] Small Import of tree tags in Botanical Garden, Mumbai, India

[Milind Oka]

Hi,

The famous heritage botanical garden - Jijamata Bhonsle Udyan in Mumbai has
a huge variety of flora. The List of trees with geo coordinates can be
found here ...

https://www.saveranibagh.org/BW_listOfTrees.php

There  are 4131 trees of 256 species.

The garden is a great study point for environmentalists and botanists.
Since those trees are spread over a large area of 50 acres, it is very
difficult to quickly locate a tree of a particular species. So I would like
to map those trees by importing these tags using the above list.

Since mapping all 4000+ trees may not be a good idea since there are a huge
number (around 3000) of commonly found trees such as banyan, mango, coconut
etc. in the list. Those common trees will make the map overpopulated (as
per my opinion).

I have removed those common trees to get another list of about 1000 rare
trees. Further removing duplicates I have finalised a clean list of
distinct 200+ rare trees that will be of interest to all. The accuracy of
the location seems to be satisfactory. (I checked a few coordinates by
actually visiting the place and adding a few tags).

It is possible for me to visit the place a number of times and make minor
corrections in these tags. So it is actually a very small manually assisted
import ,with local knowledge.

Now should I import those 200+ tree tags ?

I have gone through import guidelines.
At every step I will ensure that accurate data is uploaded.

Thanks
Milind
