Biodiversity hotspots are regions that contain high levels of plant and animal species diversity, as well as high levels of endemism, meaning they are home to species that are found nowhere else on Earth. The significance of biodiversity hotspots lies in their importance for conservation efforts, as they typically contain a large number of species that are at risk of extinction. By prioritizing the protection of these hotspots, we can help preserve a significant amount of global biodiversity and prevent the loss of unique and irreplaceable species.
