- India ranks 176th in the Global Nature Conservation Index (NCI) 2024, with a score of 45.5 out of 100. This places India among the five worst performers globally, alongside Kiribati, Turkey, Iraq, and Micronesia.

- The NCI is a new tool that evaluates conservation efforts using four key markers:
- Land Management
- Threats to Biodiversity
- Capacity and Governance

- Sustainable Nitrogen Index: Currently at 0.77, indicating a need for improvement in soil health.
