Abstract

Diversity of life is unevenly distributed over the surface of the earth; especially rich are the tropics, mountainous regions and island archipelagos. Lying at the trijunction of Africa, temperate Eurasia and tropical Southeast Asia and enjoying a great diversity of environmental regimes, India ranks about the 10th amongst nations in terms of its diversity of species.
