Shekhawati region is rich with biodiversity which attract the researchers, scientist and biologist. The fauna and flora found in the study area has highly desertic adaptations and are not evenly and densely spread on the land of study area. The study conducted recently when data of Nilgai observed. The region has 120 species of migratory and resident birds of the desert. The chief floral elements in the region are Prosopis cineraria (Khejri), Azardirachta indica (Neem), Ficus religiosa (Pepal), Dalbergia sisso (Seesam), Acacia nilotica (Desi Babul), Salvadora persica (Mitha Jal), Albizzia lebbek (Sares), Prosopis juliflora (Vilayti Babul). The leaves of desert plants are often reduced to spines and thorns to minimize water loss by evaporation. Shekhawati region located in north-eastern of Rajasthan and cover only 8% area of the state. Climatic condition of the area is both extreme – very hot summer and very cool winters. The region lies in semiarid zone with low floral diversity due to scantly and irregular rainfall. Wind velocity in the region is quite high during the summer and sand storms are common feature of the area. Sand dunes are dominant in the entire region especially in northwestern part. The region is part of Indian Thar Desert exhibit little mammalian diversity. During last three decades numbers of large mammals has been drastically decreased in the Shekhawati region due to inference of people in natural habitats of mammals for their beneficiary activities. The mammalian diversity of Shekhawati region is represented by 40 species of mammals belonging to 20 families and 31 genera. The region covers 9% mammalian diversity of India and 58.8.% of Thar.
