Indian subcontinents are not only well known for its Cultural diversity, but also have a diverse range of flora and fauna. Human activities are permitted in a wildlife sanctuary whereas these are completely restricted in a national park. Hunting is prohibited without permission in a sanctuary; however, grazing and movement of cattle is permitted. Therefore, India houses several wildlife sanctuaries and national parks that help in preserving the wildlife in its natural form. Hunting and grazing are totally prohibited in a national park.
India’s forest cover ranges from the tropical rain forest of the Andaman Islands, Western Ghats, and Northeast India to the coniferous forest of the Himalaya.
