Select the correct statement about bio-diversity.

1. Large scale planting of Bt cotton has no adverse effect on biodiversity.
2. Western Ghats have a very high degree of species richness and endemism.
3. Conservation of biodiversity is just a fad pursued by the developed countries.
4. The desert areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat have a very high level of desert animal species as well as numerous rare animals.

Correct answer: Western Ghats have a very high degree of species richness and endemism.

Solution

The Western Ghats are one of India’s major biodiversity hotspots, known for exceptional species richness and many endemic species found nowhere else. The other options are incorrect because they make unsupported claims or overstate biodiversity in arid regions.
