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.
Answer:
Biodiversity is referred to as the variation of plant and animal species in a particular habitat. Species
evenness and species richness form the major components of biodiversity.
India is known for its rich biodiversity and has 23.39% of the geographical area covered by forests and
trees.
Coined by Norman Myers, the term "Biodiversity hotspots" can be defined as the regions which are
known for their high species richness and endemism.
According to Conservation International, a region must fulfill the following two criteria to qualify as a
hotspot:
1. The region should have at least 1500 species of vascular plants i.e., it should have a high
degree of endemism.
2. It should contain 70% of its original habitat.
There are major four biodiversity hotspots in India.
1. The Himalayas
2. Indo-Burma Region
3. The Western Ghats
4. Sundaland
