Explain the statement," Biodiversity hotspots are regions of accelerated habitat loss".
Dear student
Please refer the solution below for the said query
Biodiversity hot spots have high level of species diversity. They contain species which are mainly not found elsewhere.
These hotspots once covered about 16% of Earth’s land surface. But today about 86% of the habitat has been destroyed by various human activities and now these hotspots cover only 2% of land. Hence, due to these human activities, biodiversity hotspots have become regions with increased or accelerated habitat loss.
Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
