*.it must contain at least 0.5% or 1,500 species ofvascular plants as endemics, and
*.it had lost at least 70% of its primary vegetation.
*.Around the world, 34 areas qualify under this definition, with nine other possible candidates.

Yet biodiversity hotspots are, by definition, in a conservation crisis. To be classified as a biodiversity hotspot, a region must have lost at least 70 percent of its original natural vegetation, usually due to human activity. There are over 30 recognized biodiversity hotspots in the world.
hope it's help
