There are many endemic species in certain areas.

Explanation:

The region should have at least 1500 vascular plant species, indicating a high degree of endemism.

It must contain 30% (or less) of its original habitat, indicating that it is threatened.

Following the criteria required for an area to be designated as a Biodiversity Hotspot, India has four major biodiversity hotspots:

  • The Himalayan Mountains
