About Us

Welcome to Indian Flora and Fauna online resource devoted to Indian plants and animals. India is one of the mega-diversity hotspot that supports more than 18600 flowering plants and almost 11450 non-flowering plants; 2528 lichens and 15223 fungi; and approximately 100693 species of animals. Among all floral elements 33% are endemic to India. This website is intended to disseminate comprehensive information on Indian floral and faunal diversity across the world. It also aims to inculcate awareness among students in particular and people in general about our biological heritage and need of its conservation. We encourage the students to participate in spreading biodiversity awareness. We are open to accept reliable information on Indian flora and fauna. We also encourage common public, amateur naturalist, nature photographers, and other interested persons to collect data on Indian flora and fauna of their interest and contribute in building this free resource. So I appeal all interested persons to get involved.
