उत्तर

The tropics are special because they have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years, allowing a long evolutionary time for species diversification. Their environments are less seasonal, more constant, and predictable, which promotes niche specialization and greater species diversity. Additionally, the tropics receive more solar energy, enhancing productivity, which indirectly contributes to greater biological diversity.
