Explanation:
Megadiversity centers are areas or countries which have a very high density of biodiversity. Their area is small as compared to biodiversity. The seventeen megadiversity centers of the world cover only 10% of the land surface but contain 70% of total biodiversity. India with 2.4% of land area supports 8.1% of biodiversity.
Hotspots of biodiversity are areas of high biodiversity which are rich in endemic species but are threatened due to human encroachments. India has three hotspots- Western ghats, Indo-Burma and Himalaya.
Biodiversity found in India and the endemism of hot spot are nature's gift to the country. It should be protected and saved from destruction by human greed.
