What to Focus On

  • Bio-diversity includes genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity
  • India has 8% of world's species on only 2.4% of world's land
  • 45,000 plant species found in Indian forests

  • Plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide

  • Over-harvesting reduces species populations

Common Mistakes to Avoid
