Hot spots of biodiversity

There is a in situ conservation. the hot spots are the richest and the most threatened reservoirs of biodiversity on the earth.

To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot, a region must meet two strict criteria:

A) It must have at least 1,500 vascular plants as endemics - which is to say, it must have a high percentage of plant life found nowhere else on the planet

B) It must have 30% or less of its original natural vegetation. In other words, it must be threatened.
