The Western Ghats is one of the world's eight hottest of the world’s biodiversity hotspots with more than 400 species of vertebrates that are endemic to the region. Many of these species live entirely outside protected areas and face tremendous challenges while sharing space with humans. However, agroforests such as plantations of coffee, pepper and spices are known to incorporate forest trees in their farming practice that have been found to provide important habitats for biodiversity.
