Abstract

India is home to three of the world's ten most biodiverse hotspots on land, a vast variety of forest types, and a temperate to tropical climatic range. The majority of terrestrial species are now only found in forests because their former habitats have been destroyed. 514 natural sanctuaries, 99 national parks (including 18 biosphere reserves), and several holy groves are all part of the extensive network of protected places. Forest degradation and biodiversity loss persist due to increasing human population needs, shifting land uses, and the introduction of invasive alien species, despite a supportive forest policy and a robust regulatory framework. Individuals should be encouraged to take part in large-scale biodiversity conservation restoration efforts, and the degree and rate of biodiversity loss should be monitored continuously.
