摘要

India has a rich faunal diversity. According to recent surveys, there are estimated to be about 90,000 known faunal species (including Protozoa) in less than 50% of the geographical region of the nation surveyed so far. The diversity of Indian biota has posed considerable challenge to generations of taxonomists in India and across the world. In addition to the two hot spots of diversity, the Western Ghats and northeast India, ecosystems such as islands, oceans, deserts and mountains scattered across India are rich in flora and fauna which are yet to be explored completely. Studies of natural history in India date back to more than 200 years, but taxonomy is still in the exploratory phase, as seen from the large number of new taxa described every year. Revised checklists of some vertebrate taxa have been published fairly recently. However, for many invertebrate taxa and marine phyla, work is far from completion. The information from these studies is distributed with several organizations and individuals, making it difficult to access adequate and accurate information on a variety of aspects of biodiversity. At present, there is no single repository to provide information such as scientific names, common names, occurrence of organisms and their spatial and temporal distribution. Users such as conservationists, policy makers, environmental managers and parataxonomists feel the need for this basic information about Indian biota. Taxonomists themselves often feel the necessity of single information source on Indian biota and quick access to literature sources. Electronic cataloguing provides the best approach to compile and to integrate or exchange information.
