Biodiversity has three levels: genetic diversity (variation within a species), species diversity (number of species), and ecological diversity (variety of ecosystems). All three are equally important.

Biodiversity hotspots are regions with the most total number of species

Hotspots are defined by TWO criteria: (1) high ENDEMIC species (found nowhere else) — at least 1,500 endemic plant species, AND (2) high threat — at least 70% of original habitat already lost. A speci
