The country’s national park network is one of the most biodiverse on the planet. India has 107 notified national parks, which cover a variety of habitats spread across the Himalayas and deserts, to scrub lands, alpine meadows in the Himalayas, wetlands, and mangrove forests, among others. The animal species found in these parks include the iconic tiger, lion, rhinoceros, snow leopard, and Asian elephants. Parks such as Jim Corbett, Kaziranga, Ranthambore, Gir and Sundarbans are internationally recognised for both conservation and tourism.
