Question

A report suggests that about 10 percent of India's recorded wild flora and 20 percent of its mammals are on the threatened list. Do you think India is a safe haven for wildlife?

Answer 1

Hint: Wildlife flora is known to be the plant species that is grown and protected. India is known to be one of the best flora maintained countries as it has the topology, climate, and habitat. In India there are 18,000 flowering plants of different species, this is about six to seven percent of the plant species in the world.

Complete answer:
In India most of the plant species are used for medicinal purposes, the most abundant floral regions of India are Western Himalayas, Eastern Himalayas, Assam, Indus plain, Ganges plain, the Deccan, Malabar, and the Andaman Islands.
Wildlife is a preserved forest area in which animal species live without any human contact. Animal species can be found in all types of ecosystems like deserts, forests, plains, and grasslands. Some animals tend to adapt themselves to human living environments like dogs, cats, rats, mice, etc, but some animals cannot adapt to a suburban environment.
Although 10 percent of India's recorded wild flora and 20 percent of its mammals are on the threatened list, still India is the safest haven for wildlife, as so many measures are taken to protect the wildlife.
Hunting of animal species is also prohibited in a large area. In India, plants and animal species are worshipped and protected to a great extent. The government of India has declared many forests as wildlife sanctuaries.

Note: Initiatives have been taken by the government to protect and increase the number of plant and animal species that are on the threatened list. Deforestation has also been reduced as it plays an important role in wildlife.
