As one of the world's megadiverse countries, India supports an extensive range of flora and fauna. This section explores various types of vegetation, including tropical evergreen forests, deciduous forests, thorn forests, montane forests, and mangrove forests, along with an overview of India's diverse wildlife.
India is recognized as one of the 12 mega-biodiversity countries globally, with a remarkable variety of plants and animals. The section discusses the concept of natural vegetation, which refers to plant communities that grow without human interference. The major types of vegetation in India include:
India's diverse wildlife includes approximately 90,000 species, with notable examples such as the Indian elephant and one-horned rhinoceros. The need for biodiversity conservation is emphasized due to threats from human activities.

Natural Vegetation: Refers to plant communities that grow without human intervention.
Biodiversity: The variety and variability of life forms on Earth, essential for ecosystem balance.
Tropical Evergreen Forests: Dense forests with high rainfall, rich in biodiversity and always lush green.
Tropical Deciduous Forests: Forests that shed their leaves in dry seasons, economically important.
Mangrove Forests: Coastal forests that thrive in saline environments, vital for ecological functions.
In forests dense, where rain does dwell, / Tropical greens weave nature’s spell.
Once in a lush forest, the animals celebrated their biodiversity. Every creature and plant played a vital role, reflecting the harmony of their ecosystem.
