Answer the following.
Write the names of biodiversity hot spots.
उत्तर
A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region with significant levels of biodiversity that is threatened with destruction. For example, forests are considered biodiversity hotspots. The Status is designated by Conservation International. To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot on Myers 2000 edition of the hotspot-map, a region must meet two strict criteria: it must contain at least 0.5% or 1,500 species of vascular plants as endemics, and it has to have lost at least 70% of its primary vegetation. Around the world, 35 areas qualify under this definition. These sites support nearly 60% of the world's plant, bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species, with a very high share of those species as endemics.
The biodiversity hotspots in India are as follows:
-
The Western Ghats and Sri Lanka.
-
The Eastern Himalayas.
-
Indo-Burma.
-
Sundaland.
