Biodiversity Hotspot

A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region with an extraordinarily high concentration of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else, but is also under severe threat from habitat loss and human activities. These areas are pivotal for global conservation because they represent hotspots of evolutionary diversity and ecological resilience, often guiding international efforts to protect endangered ecosystems. In today's context, they help prioritize funding and policies amid climate change challenges.
