India's biological diversity is reflected in the heterogeneity of its forest cover. It is one of the 12 'mega-diversity' countries of the world. India is also at the meeting zone of three major bio-geographic realms, namely the Indo-Malayan (the richest in the world), the Eurasian and Afro-tropical. India also has the two richest bio-diversity areas, one in the northeast and other in the Western Ghats. The biological diversity is being conserved through a network of biosphere reserves, national parks and sanctuaries. However, the challenges for conservation emanate from population pressures, adverse impacts of industrialization and intensifying threats from illegal trade.

Abstract


India's biological diversity is reflected in the heterogeneity of its forest cover. It is one of the 12 'mega-diversity' countries of the world. India is also at the meeting zone of three major bio-geographic realms, namely the Indo-Malayan (the richest in the world), the Eurasian and Afro-tropical. India also has the two richest bio-diversity areas, one in the northeast and other in the Western Ghats. The biological diversity is being conserved through a network of biosphere reserves, national parks and sanctuaries. However, the challenges for conservation emanate from population pressures, adverse impacts of industrialization and intensifying threats from illegal trade.
