What is a biodiversity hotspot?
Sri K.
Conservation biologists have identified several Hotspots on earth. These are regions on earth that have recorded the warmest temperatures, regions on earth that have a high incidence of diseases, and regions on earth with a unique assemblage of species, especially endemic species. They have been chosen as one measure to preserve the world's biodiversity.
