Question

why has India a rich heritage of flora and fauna?

Answer 1

India has a rich heritage of flora and fauna because it has a very large geographical area..India is one of the twelve mega biodiversity countries of the world...

Answer 2

India, a country with varied interests, has a rich heritage of flora and fauna because it lies in the torrid region, receives good amount of rainfall by trade winds or westerly disturbances, has varied geographical landforms like plateaus, mountains, rivers, etc. Because of its humid and hot weather, it supports luxuriant plant and animal growth. another reason for this is that india was discovered quite late in the 15th century by Vasco da Gama and india was away from the rest of the world. this resulted in that the people of the country lived with the nature and did not harm it for personnel profits unlike australia and other country's which were colonialised where the imperialists killed the animals there.
