Abstract: India has a distinct identity because of its geography, culture and history and great biological diversity of its natural ecosystem. Because of this India is 12th mega biodiversity country in the world. This biological diversity is in its forest, aquatic system, wetlands and terrestrial ecosystems distributed all over the country. This richness is shown in absolute number of species and the proportion they represent of the world in total. But due to anthropogenic activities the global climate has changed since from the last few decades. The climate change of Indian subcontinent has also adversely affected the biological resources of the country. An attempt is made in the present paper to present the data in a precise form regarding the impact of climate change on biodiversity.
