India is the seventh largest country in the world, it is megadiverse and is home to approximately 1300 bird species, accounting for more than 12% of the world's bird species. Of course, many species of birds are endemic in India; Indian territory is part of twelve Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs) recognized by BirdLife International. In addition, almost 5% of the country's land has been allocated to almost 600 nature reserves, around 100 of which have been declared national parks.
