Match the biodiversity hotspots overlapping Indian territory (List-I) with their precise geographical coverage and characteristic endemic fauna (List-II):
- Western Ghats HotspotSpans the western peninsular mountain chain; home to endemic fauna such as the Lion-tailed Macaque and Nilgiri Tahr.
- Indo-Burma HotspotEncompasses Northeastern India south of the Brahmaputra River; home to endemic fauna like the Sangai (brow-antlered deer).
- Sundaland HotspotIncludes the Nicobar group of islands in India; home to endemic species such as the Nicobar Tree Shrew.
- Himalayan HotspotEncompasses the high-altitude montane ecosystems of northern and northeastern India; home to endemic species like the Namdapha Flying Squirrel.
Cevap
The correct matching pairs Western Ghats Hotspot with the western peninsular mountain chain (Lion-tailed Macaque and Nilgiri Tahr); Indo-Burma Hotspot with Northeast India south of the Brahmaputra River (Sangai deer); Sundaland Hotspot with the Nicobar group of islands (Nicobar Tree Shrew); and Himalayan Hotspot with the high-altitude montane zone of North and Northeast India (Namdapha Flying Squirrel).
The global biodiversity hotspots overlapping India possess precise biogeographical limits and signature endemic species: Western Ghats (peninsular mountain range with Lion-tailed Macaque), Indo-Burma (Northeast India south of Brahmaputra with Sangai deer), Sundaland (Nicobar Islands with Nicobar Tree Shrew), and Himalayas (montane North/Northeast India with Namdapha Flying Squirrel).
