In order to concentrate resources on those areas that are most vulnerable, conservationists have identified certain areas as biodiversity hotspots. The term, first used by British ecologist Norman Myers in 1988, designated areas losing habitat at a high rate in which there is a disproportionate number of species found nowhere else. ... Hotspots are often defined according to their plant vegetation. To Myers, a hotspot has to contain at least 0.5 percent of the world’s 300,000 plant species as endemics. 1, record 5, English, - biodiversity%20hotspot

The [Northern River Basin] study revealed that contaminant levels associated with pulp mills have decreased in effluents and fish. Deficiencies in our knowledge exist in several key geographic areas known as hot spots : Smoky River, Wapiti River, Athabasca River between Hinton and the oil sands, Wabasca River, and the upper reaches of the Peace River. Issues typically include mercury, dioxin, furans and PCBs. 4, record 5, English, - biodiversity%20hotspot

L'étude [sur les bassins des rivières du Nord] a révélé que les niveaux de contaminants associés aux usines de pâte à papier avaient diminué dans les effluents et chez les poissons.

Los puntos calientes de biodiversidad o “hotspots” son zonas del planeta con una cantidad elevada de especies endémicas, únicas de ese lugar, y con un hábitat en proceso de destrucción. [...] El origen del concepto “puntos calientes de biodiversidad” se debe al ambientalista británico Norman Myers, que lo definió en varios artículos científicos durante la última década del siglo XX. Su objetivo era lograr un sistema que sirviera para priorizar y optimizar los esfuerzos de conservación de áreas especialmente sensibles, y salvar así de su desaparición a especies y hábitats únicos. 1, record 5, Spanish, - punto%20caliente%20de%20biodiversidad
