Cacao World Map

Mapping the cacao world: where the cacao tree grows, who grows it, historic and contemporary places and events related to the cacao trade and whatever else captures my imagination. On the categories tab, show address, when clicked, reveals the map coordinates of the growing regions.

The map markers are categorized by Cacao tree taxonomy. Each marker contains information of interest or perhaps just a note that I’m researching, a check back later hint. The information on this map is from various sources, which are cited at The Cacao World Wiki

This map is a work in progress.
