What are Biodiversity “Hot Spots”?
Biodiversity "Hot Spots" are unique places on earth set apart by exceptional levels of plant endemism and by serious levels of habitat loss. In order to qualify as a "hotspot", a region must meet two, very strict criteria.
 First, it must contain at least 1,500 species of vascular plants as endemics.- Second, it must have lost at least 70% of its original habitat.
They are only a few left and collectively, they constitute only 2.3% of the earth’s land surface. Yet, more than 50% of all plants and roughly 45% of all terrestrial vertebrate species are endemic to this region.
