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 7, English, - biodiversity%20hotspot

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.

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 7, Spanish, - punto%20caliente%20de%20biodiversidad
