Indian Biodiversity

Indian biodiversity refers to the vast variety of plants, animals, and ecosystems found across India’s diverse landscapes—from Himalayas and deserts to rainforests and coastal regions. This rich diversity is due to India’s extensive climate zones and habitats, supporting many endemic species that are unique to the country. India is recognized as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, meaning it has a high number of species at risk from habitat loss and human activity. Conserving this biodiversity is essential for ecological balance, climate stability, and sustaining livelihoods for millions dependent on natural resources.
