Biodiversity hotspots are areas with high levels of biodiversity that are threatened by human activities. The significance of biodiversity hotspots lies in their importance for global biodiversity conservation efforts. These areas are often home to a large number of endemic species, meaning they are found nowhere else on Earth. By protecting biodiversity hotspots, we can prevent the loss of unique species and ecosystems, maintain ecosystem services such as clean water and air, and contribute to overall biodiversity conservation on a global scale.
