The Government of India has taken several steps for conservation of biodiversity which includes survey, inventorization, taxonomic validation and threat assessment of floral and faunal resources; assessment to develop an accurate database for planning and monitoring as well as conservation and protection of forests; establishment of a protected area network of National Parks, Wildlife Sanctuaries, conservation and community reserves; designating Biosphere Reserves for conservation of representative ecosystems; undertaking of species oriented programmes, such as Project Tiger, Project Elephant, Project Dolphin; complemented with ex-situ conservation efforts.

A total of 1,02,718 species of fauna and 54,733 species of flora have been documented in the 10 biogeographic zones of the country.

Espèce envahissante et changement climatique

Espèce envahissante et changement climatique | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
La propagation de la petite mangouste indienne en Europe serait favorisée par les bouleversements climatiques.

Les espèces exotiques envahissantes représentent l’une des causes majeures de perte de biodiversité, ainsi qu’un risque sanitaire et économique. Des chercheurs de l'Institut de Systématique, Évolution, Biodiversité (Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle – CNRS – EPHE – SU – UA) et d'autres scientifiques du Muséum viennent de publier, dans la revue Scientific Reports, de nouveaux résultats sur l’une des espèces de carnivores sauvages ayant le plus grand impact sur la biodiversité mondiale : la petite mangouste Indienne, Urva auropunctata.
