The Andaman Islands number 572 in all, with most but a
few under the administration of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Union
Territory of India. Being far removed from the Indian subcontinent,
these islands – the largest among them being North Andaman Island,
Middle Andaman and Little Andaman – have evolved a unique biodiversity.
The islands are also home to five unique ethnic people – the Great
Andamanese, the Jarawa, the extinct Jangil, the Onge and the isolated
Sentinelese – whose numbers are fast diminishing. The Andamans and its
wildlife also draw naturalists, bird-watchers and photographers.
