The problem is that India does good at conservation of certain megafauna.
Outside of the charismatic species we do not have policies protecting and documenting endangered plants and even other mega and microfauna which aren't well known to the public.
There was no biodiversity in the northern plains to begin with lol.
That area has been deforested for hundreds of years.
The most biodiversity is in the Himalayas, Hengduans and North Eastern India plus south india and islands of India.
The real problem is China and the conflicts associated with it, (millions of money being spent to deter both China and Pak).
Ironically the buggest threat to India's biodiversity is clean energy.. dams drown forests, solar energy kills Great Indian Bustards.
Not to mention India is the worsr country in protecting its marine bioduversity. Its the secobd largest shark fishing nation and it is assumed that despite having 16000 sq km of coral reefs little are protected.. So its a real irony.
