What is the significance of biodiversity hotspots?

Transcript

Biodiversity hotspots are significant because they are regions rich in plant and animal life that face severe threats from human activities. These areas, covering only about 2.5% of Earth's land surface, harbor over half of all plant species as endemics and nearly 43% of bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species. They are crucial for providing essential ecosystem services like clean air and water, making their conservation vital for maintaining biodiversity and human survival.
