Andaman and Nicobar Islands contribute to at least 220 endemic plants.

  • Andaman and Nicobar Islands is an Indian union territory situated in the Bay of Bengal.
  • These islands have a wide variety of ecosystems.
  • They are known for their rich mangrove, marine, and forest ecosystems.
  • Also, there are both deep and wide water bodies.
  • Nearly 85% of the land area is occupied by tropical rainforests and monsoon forests.
  • Therefore, it is one of the global biodiversity hotspots.
  • Hence, these ecosystems inhabit thousands of species of flora and fauna.
  • In 1983, the Botanical Survey of India confirmed that these islands contribute to at least 220 endemic species.
