Talk:List of ecoregions in India

Contradiction?
This lists regions not apparently included in the supposedly definitive WWF List of ecoregions. Is that list not definitive, or is this based on different criteria? This would be resolved, perhaps, if the creator had added an introductory paragraph. Notinasnaid 13:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing out the disparity. The list at List of ecoregions is not the definitive list of ecoregions; rather, it is a list of the Global 200 ecoregions, which are WWF's priorities for conservation. Many ecoregions are missing from the list, and the Global 200 also includes a few composite ecoregions, which are made up of two or more ecoregions. For a complete list of terrestrial ecoregions, see the ecozone or biome articles. Most of India lies within the tropical and subtropical Indomalaya ecozone, but the upper reaches of the Himalaya are part of the temperate-to-arctic Palearctic ecozone.

 * Update: List of ecoregions now includes a complete list of terrestrial ecoregions. Tom Radulovich 23:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Moist Tropical Evergreen Forest?
Silent Valley National Park is usually refered to with this term. What is it and where does it fit in this article? In my edits of the park I have used South Western Ghats moist deciduous forests for lack of a better Wikiterm. Marcus 17:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * According to the WWF Silent Valley is in the higher-elevation South Western Ghats montane rain forests ecoregion, which are evergreen rather than deciduous. Tom Radulovich 05:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC).

Table of ecoregions needs edits
The Table of terrestrial ecoregions needs to be updated and edited. It is unclear if it is the 2001 list or the updated 2017 list. Also, each ecoregion is repeated many times corresponding to each state covered. I proposed a simpler list that lists all the ecoregions by biome and realm, with a single row for each. The states covered can be added as a list within a single cell of the row. Shankar Raman (talk) 12:08, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Map
This article would be greatly enhanced by a map showing where these regions are in India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.216.72 (talk) 01:27, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
