What Happened
The Western Ghats, India's biodiversity hotspot older than the Himalayas, harbors ten remarkable species found nowhere else globally. These include the endangered lion-tailed macaque, Nilgiri tahr, Indian giant squirrel, purple frog considered a living fossil, lion-tailed macaque, and flying reptiles. Conservation efforts help protect these unique creatures in fragmented habitats across misty hills and river valleys.
