Conservation of hot spots are best described as

A

Islands that are experiencing high rates of extinction

B

Areas where native species are being replaced with introduced species

C

Areas where the people are active supporters of the biological diversity

D

Areas with the large members of endemic species that are disappearing rapidly

Solution

Eminent conservationists identified areas (regions) with very high level of species richness and high degree of endemism (i.e. species confined to that region and not found anywhere else) for maximum protection. Initially the number of biodiversity hot spots were $25$ but now it increased up to $34$
