Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem which can be aquatic or terrestrial. India is one of the world’s richest countries in terms of its vast array of biological diversity, and has nearly 8 per cent of the total number of species in the world (estimated to be 1.6 million).
