1. India has a greater ecological diversity than a Scandinavian country like Norway.
2. The Western Ghats have a greater amphibian species diversity than the Eastern Ghats.
3. It has taken millions of years o f evolution to accumulate the rich diversity in nature, but we could lose all the wealth in less than two centuries if the present rates of species losses continue.
4. For many taxonomic groups, species inventories are more complete in temperate than in tropical countries.
