Describe biodiversity found in India.
Although India has $2.4$ percent of the world's land area its share of the global species diversity is an impressive $8.1$ per cent.
India is one of the $12$ mega diversity countries of the world.
There are about $45,000$ species of plants and twice as many of animals have been recorded from India.
If we apply Robert May's global estimate than only $22 \%$ of species have been recorded. India probably has more than $1,00,000$ species of plants and $3,00,000$ species of animals yet to be discovered and described.
