How wonderful! Our young Goan women ares spreading their wings - I see so many interesting books and research both in STEM and the humanities. I wish i could support some of them. I remember reading of another (or maybe the same young woman) who documented all the flora of the Verna plateau. These detailed surveys are highly valuable as they establish baseline data of biodiversity and ecology which will help future researchers understand loss of biodiversity, rise of invasive species and changes due to land use and climate change.

One or more of the co-authors are at the Government College, Quepem. 

Please try bookshops too, especially those which stock Goa-related books. FN
