What portion of the worlds plant and animals species live in blodiversity hot spots?
Biodiversity hotspots are regions that are both rich in endemic species and significantly threatened by human activities. They contain about 50% of the world's plant species as well as nearly 40% of terrestrial vertebrate species, despite covering only about 2.3% of Earth's land surface. These areas are crucial for conservation efforts, as they support a high level of biodiversity that is at risk of extinction.
