Natural wonders of India & Nepal
By Biswajit Roy Chowdhury and Buroshiva Dasgupta
| India is listed as one of twelve countries in the world to reflect 'megadiversity' in terms of natural habitat and the immensely varied fauna and flora that it sustains - it is a fact that seventy-five percent of all medicines in India are derived from plant species, many of them harvested in the wild. India's mammal life, although most recognized for its regal Tiger and, in smaller numbers, Asiatic Lion (both protected today), includes unique species such as Sloth Bear, Nilgai, the spiralhorned Blackbuck and the four-horned Chausingha. The country's treasures are not confined to its natural heritage, however. Once a land of ruling princes, India's wealthy maharajas left a legacy of ancient forts and hunting lodges, elaborate palaces and summer pavilions scattered throughout the country's parks, reserves and sanctuaries. | |
