2. Of the total biosphere reserves in India, the Sundarbans has the largest number of species and Nokrek has the smallest number of species

The first statement is correct as there is a high degree of endemism in the biodiversity hotspots of India, such as the Himalayas and the Western Ghats. However, the second statement could not be fully verified due to a lack of specific data on the species count in the Nokrek Biosphere Reserve. Therefore, only the first statement is confirmed to be correct.
