Kasaragod became the first district in India to declare official trees, flowers, birds, species. Kasaragod district has become the first district in India to officially designate its trees, flowers, birds and species. The decision is a testament to the region's rich biodiversity and natural heritage. The official tree of the district is 'Kanjiram' (Strychnos nux-vomica Linn), a species name derived from 'kasara', meaning wormwood, from which the name of the district originates. This announcement has played an important role in conserving these trees and preventing their unnecessary cutting.
