The World Heritage Committee inscribed today Western Ghats on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Western Ghats: Older than the Himalaya mountains, the mountain chain of the Western Ghats represents geomorphic features of immense importance with unique biophysical and ecological processes. The site’s high montane forest ecosystems influence the Indian monsoon weather pattern. Moderating the tropical climate of the region, it presents one of the best examples of the monsoon system in the planet.
The site also has an exceptionally high level of biological diversity and endemism. It is recognized as one of the world’s eight “hottest hotspots” of biological diversity. The forests of the site include some of the best representatives of non-equatorial tropical evergreen forests anywhere and are home to at least 325 globally threatened flora, fauna, bird, amphibian, reptile and fish species.
The major attraction of the Western Ghats is the Ana Mudi ( 2,695 metres (8,842ft) is) which is the highest peak in India.
Western Ghats - Rain forests of India
The Silent Valley National Park in Kerala is considered by many to be the last tracts of virgin tropical evergreen forest in India.
