India has a rich and varied heritage of biodiversity, encornpassing a wide spectrum of habitats from tropical
rain forests to alpine vegetatiolt artd frorn temperate forests to coastal wetlands. Out of 18 biodiversity hot spots
identified in ttre world, fbur hotspots, i.e. The Western Ghats, Eastern Hirnalaya, Western Himalaya, and Nicobar
islands are in Inclia. Besides, India has 26 recognizecl endemic centres which are home to one-third of all the
flowering plants identified and described so far. There ale 8.7 million species of the world's biota. Ofl them, only
1,7 nrillion have been described to date, and their distribution is trighly uneven. AboutT%o of the world's total
land area is home to half of lhe world's species, with the tropics alone, accounting for 5 million. India contributes
significantly to the biodiversity of the world, accounting 7.31 o/o of the global plant diversity lrom 2.4yo of the
world's area.
