Biodiversity hotspots are areas that harbor high levels of species richness and endemism, meaning they contain a large number of unique species found nowhere else. The significance of biodiversity hotspots lies in their importance for conservation efforts. Despite covering only a small fraction of the Earth's surface, these regions are home to a disproportionately large number of plant and animal species. By protecting biodiversity hotspots, we can safeguard a significant portion of the world's biodiversity and ensure the survival of many unique and endangered species.
