🔆India hosts 4 biodiversity hotspots

✅1-the Himalayas,
✅2-the Western Ghats,
✅3-the Indo-Burma region and the 
✅4-Sundaland (Includes Nicobar group of Islands).
✅These hotspots have numerous endemic species.

✅Biodiversity is the collection of flora and fauna of a place. Biodiversity Hotspot is a region which is a prime location for the existence of rich biodiversity but also faces the threat of destruction. It is a place which needs our immediate and constant attention to survive and thrive in the future as well.

✅This idea of identifying hotspots was put forth by Norman Myers in 1988.
