effects of season on the biodiversity in India
Answers
India is a phenomenally diverse country.
It has a great wealth of biological species estimated at about 10% of the world's species.
The rich heritage of culture is another advantage of India.
Biodiversity in India is largely dependent on socio-cultural practices and seasonal criteria like rainfall and a good monsoon.
Unfortunately, due to phenomenal population growth and lack in environmental protection policy and lack of implementation of the same, several species are in the verge of extinction due to rapid seasonal variation like heavy rainfall and late arriving of monsoon.
This effect has created like a food-related chain reaction amongst the population of India.
It is also posing a threat to the livelihood and the culture of millions of Indians who depend on the local biodiversity.
Common man and farmers should be made aware of seasonal variation and how to tackle it. stand to lose.
Increased participation of the people is necessary for biodiversity documentation and conservation.
In addition, there are several organizations carrying out notable conservation work in India and educating farmer about seasonal variation.

India possesses a distinct identity, not only because of its geography, history and culture, but also because of the great diversity of its natural ecosystems. The panorama of Indian biological diversity is much wider, as it comes under the twelve mega biodiverse (Hot-spot) centers of the world. It contains a great wealth of biological diversity in its forests, its wetlands and in its marine areas which are distributed all over the country. This richness is shown in absolute numbers of species and the proportion they represent of the world total. The great Himalayan region has peculiar identity in the perspective of its unique biogeography. It supports a large number of glaciers, lakes, rivers, flora and fauna due to its variable climate. It has a profound effect on the climate of the subcontinent. But due to anthropogenic activities the global climate has changed since last few decades. The climate of the subcontinent has also adversely affected the biological resources of the country along with that of the Himalayan region. The present paper discusses the various causes responsible for melting and shrinkage of glaciers, decreasing water flow in the major rivers, increasing pressure of extinction of the ecological wealth of the country. It also talks about the control measures and various management steps which can be taken, with special reference to the Himalayan region
