Solution
Initially $25$ biodiversity hot spots were identified but subsequently nine more have been added to the list, bringing the total number of biodiversity hot spots in the world to $34$ , These hot spots are also the regions of accelerated habitat loss. Three of these hot spots are Western ghats, Sri Lanka, Indo-Burma and Himalaya-cover:
Our country is exceptionally high in biodiversity regions. Although, all the biodiversity hot spots put together covers less than $2 \;\%$ of the earth's land area, the number of species they collectively harbor is extremely high and the strict protection of these hot spots could reduce the ongoing man extinctions by almost $30$
