Summary Introduction
To determine: The recommendations that an individual would make for designing a park having maximum biodiversity in a tropical country..
Introduction: The variation and the variety in both flora and fauna population of habitat is called biodiversity. High biodiversity richness is an important factor responsible for the proper functioning of the ecosystem. Human interference and expansion have been the cause for the destruction of such biodiversity-rich areas and the extinction of the species living in them. So, to conserve the remaining biodiversity, conservationists are designing biodiversity reserves.
