Biodiversity Hotspot of Andaman Islands

The tropical Andaman and Nicobar Islands encompassing more than 500 islands located in the Bay of Bengal are approximately 1,200 km far from mainland India (Figure 1). In view of pristine oceanic and terrestrial life forms, Andaman and Nicobar Islands are the first in India to have been listed as the new “hope spots” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.¹ The Andaman and Nicobar archipelago is positioned between two major biodiversity areas of long Island Arch extending from the Arakan Yoma hill region of Myanmar to the Sumatran range of Indonesia (39 ) and rich in tropical plant diversity representing Indian, Burmese, Thai, Malaysian, and Indonesian floras (39 ). These islands are also listed as one of the 22 agrobiodiversity hot spots in India.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
