Requested map 01 - Biodiversity hotspots

The map for biodiversity hotspots is given in this link. The requested map need show only India and its four associated hotspots:

  • Himalayas (from J&K till Arunachal Pradesh less Nepal & Bhutan)
  • Indo-Burma (To include Andaman island, all the Northeast states in Indian territory, less Sikkim & Arunachal Pradesh which are part of the Himalayas hotspot, and also excluding Assam which does not form part of either Himalayas or Indo-Burma hotspot.)
  • Nicobar Islands
  • Western Ghats

They would have the following numbers as labels against the coloured areas:

  • Himalayas: 10
  • Indo-Burma: 11
  • Nicobar Islands: 20
  • Western Ghats: 22

I will write the necessary captions for the Wikimedia upload page once its done.
