The correct answer is:
In general species, diversity decreases as we move away from the equator to poles. Colombia located near the equator has nearly 1400 species of birds while India, with much of its land in Tropics, has 1200 species of birds. New York at 41o N has 105 species of birds and Greenland at 71o N has 56 species of birds.
