Endangered Species : Endemic Species: When a species is found only in a particular geographical region because of its isolation, soil and climatic conditions, it is said to be endemic. 2

Other species are found only in India and are thus endemic or restricted to our country. Some of these may have very localized distribution and are considered highly endemic. To protect endangered species India has created the Wildlife Protection Act. This includes lists of plants and animals categorized according to the threat on their survival 3
