Explanation:

A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region that is both a significant reservoir of biodiversity and is threatened with destruction. The term biodiversity hotspot specifically refers to 25 biologically rich areas around the world that have lost at least 70 percent of their original habitat

Currently, 35 biodiversity hotspots have been identified, most of which occur in tropical forests. They represent just 2.3% of Earth's land surface, but between them they contain around 50% of the world's endemic plant species and 42% of all terrestrial vertebrates

Biodiversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is typically a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. ... These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than 10 percent of earth's surface, and contain about 90 percent of the world's species

• The rich natural resources show how lush our planet is and how our environment is protected.  
• However, with the loss of diversity and growing extinction of species, the environment and planet are losing its ecological balance and hence are not at the right state of health.
• We need to undertake active strategies to overcome this problem.
