    1. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands The Andaman and Nicobar (A&N) archipelago comprises of about 556 small and big islands covering an area of 8,249 sq km with a coastline of 1,962 km between 92-94 0 E longitude and 6-14 0 N latitude in the Bay of Bengal (Fig.1). The northern group of islands form the Andaman Islands, while the southern group of islands form the Nicobar Islands, which is separated by 10 0 channel. The North Andaman, Middle Andaman and South Andaman islands occupy major land mass. The A&N group of islands fall under hot humid to par humid island eco-region designated as Agro- ecological Region 21. The tropical ecosystem of the A&N Islands is very unique having diverse species with wide range of genetic diversity in varying density. High rainfall, extremely humid climate, undulating terrain and backwater creeks are very conducive for faunal and floral diversity. Evergreen and littoral forests, mangroves and coral reefs are important components of the existing ecosystems prevailing in the islands. 2. Area and Population The total geographical area of A&N Islands is 8,249 sq km. The forests in A&N Islands occupy about 92.2 percent of the total geographical area in which about 87 percent area is under legally notified forest. Remaining area is available for agriculture and allied activities. The area of Andaman group of islands is 6,408 sq km whereas the Nicobar group of islands is 1,841 sq km. The statistical details of area and population of different districts and blocks of the A&N Islands are given in Table 1.
