What is the primary reason for targeting ‘biodiversity hotspots’ for conservation?
A
They are the only areas where species are seriously threatened in the world
B
The number of species threatened far exceeds our capacity to protect them and we can therefore only concentrate on areas of highest species diversity
C
They are areas where people do not live and conservation would therefore not be effecting the economic development of the area
D
To protect all areas of threatened species would not allow for new species to develop
Answer
The number of species threatened far exceeds our capacity to protect them and we can therefore only concentrate on areas of highest species diversity
