Brazil! 15 - 20% of the world's diversity can be found in Brazil. The next 4 diverse countries are Indonesia, Columbia, China, and Mexico.

1. Brazil - 512.34

No. of bird species: 1,816
No. of amphibian species: 1,141
No. of fish species: 4,738
No. of mammal species: 693
No. of reptlilian species: 847
No. of vascular plant species: 34,387

The Global Biodiversity Index was calculated using six groups of living organisms - vascular plants, mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and fish. The number of species of each group found in a country was compared to derive the biodiversity score. There are some caveats in this scoring system, as major groups like invertebrates were left out. Levels of endemism, intra-species diversity, size of a country, and its geographic location were also not taken into account.
