The current biodiversity in India has come under threat. Over half of India’s natural forests are gone and one-third of its wetlands have been drained out. 70% of India’s surface water bodies are polluted, and 40% of its mangroves are wiped out. Thousands of plant and animal species are heading towards extinction in our country.
