Answer:

The term 'mega' represent 'large'. Thus, megadiversity means a large number of species are present in the ecosystem. As India is rich in the diversity of animals and plants, India is called a mega diversity centre.

Endangered species are animals or plants which exist in very less number and if not conserved properly, will extinct. Endemic species are plants or animals exist in some particular regions and nowhere in the world.

biosphere reserve is an ecosystem with plants and animals of unusual scientific and natural interest. It is a label given by the UNESCO to help protect the sites. The plan is to promote management, research and education in ecosystem conservation. This includes the 'sustainable use of natural resources'.
