The unique geography of Nepal with its dramatic elevation changes during the relatively short north-south period and the associated high variability of ecoclimatic conditions led to rich flora and fauna of the country. In addition, the position of the country at the intersection of two large biogeographic regions (Indo-Malay in the south and Paltar in the north) Nepal is a melting pot of species that come from both regions.

In Nepal, 118 ecosystems have been identified, including 112 forest ecosystems Ecosystems, a water ecosystem and a glacier / snow / rock ecosystem. These The ecosystems range from high pastures, swamps and tropical and subtropical leaves Forests along Tarai and Siwalik hills to subtropical and tropical foliage and conifers Forests in the low mountain range. In addition, there are mixed and coniferous forests in Alto Mountains and alpine meadows above the tree line. Under the willow ecosystems, the rainforest Alpine meadows and meadows are exceptionally rich in biodiversity.

Nepalese wetlands have a lot of significant ecological importance as it provides habitat for many endangered and endangered species flora and fauna and serve as a resting place for many migratory birds that are threatened worldwide. O Wetlands also have a high cultural and economic importance. Nepal also has a great agricultural ecology diversity.

The biodiversity, especially the beta variety, is very high in Nepal. The country occupies about 0.1 Percent of the global area, but 3.2% and 1.1% of the world's known flora and fauna, respectively. The variety of birds, bryophytes, mammals and butterflies is particularly large.

A total of 284 species of flowering plants, 160 animal species, bird species, and 14 species of herpetofauna are reportedly endemic in Nepal. Highland highlands are an especially important Perspective of endemism. The different climatic and topographical conditions favored a maximum diversity of agricultural crops, their wild relatives and animal species.
