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