Info about the different types of vegetation in India?

Answer 1

India has a wealth of wildlife. Though the forest cover has diminished alarmingly, there are still many wild areas and national parks. In a country of over a billion people, and with the ever increasing numbers encroaching upon the home of wild creatures, loss of habitat is one of the biggest threats to its forests, along with poaching. But, India has done better than most third world countries in this respect. The tiger is the apex predator of the Indian forests and the number of tigers in any forest is a good indicator of a well balanced and healthy ecosystem. In the late 60's the tiger population had dropped to an all time low. This is the reason why Project Tiger was started in 1973. Initially there were 9 parks under Project Tiger covering an area of 16,339 sq.km; Project Tiger now covers 27 Tiger Reserves and an area of 37,761 sq.km.

In the Northern and Central India there are some amazing wild areas. Corbett National Park in Uttaranchal is one of the oldest national parks in India and where Project Tiger started. Kanha National Park, Ranthambor National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park are some of the best. Kaziranga National Park and Manas in Assam are also famous as they are home to the One Horned Indian Rhinoceros. The Gir forest in Gujarat is the last refuge of the Asiatic Lion.

South India too has some beautiful jungles. Some of the best national parks in India can be found here. Bandipur National Park in Karnataka (866 sq. kms), Nagarahole National Park (643 sq. kms), Mudumalai National Park (321 sq. kms) and Wayanaad in Kerala, Mukurthi National Park (80 sq. kms) and Silent Valley National Park (78 sq. kms) are the forests which form the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, which encompasses over 5500 sq. kms and was the first biosphere reserve to be set up in India. It has the largest population of Asiatic elephants in the world and is also home to the Royal Bengal tiger and other large mammals such as the Indian Bison or Gaur. Apart from these forests, there are also the Annamalais, which are in the high ranges and Periyar National Park in Kerala.
