The discovery of the new species in the dry deciduous area, shows that even the dry zones of India are home to unrealised skink diversity. This challenges the notion that high biodiversity can be found only in the wet and evergreen forests and calls attention for the conservation of such areas.
The new discovery also questions the current conservation policy wherein studies are carried out only in the protected areas and focus only on megafauna such as tigers and elephants. There is the need to study the little-known animal groups which are fundamental and indispensable components of the world’s biodiversity.
This discovery also highlights the neglected reptile diversity of India.
