Question

Hot spots are the examples of

• A. Insitu conservation
• B. Exsitu conservation
• C. Wildlife protection
• D. Water conservation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Insitu conservation

• A biodiversity hotspot is an area which has lost at least 70 per cent of its primary native vegetation

• It contains at least 1,500 species of vascular plants which are endemic.

• There are currently 36 recognized biodiversity hotspots.

• These are Earth’s most biologically rich yet threatened terrestrial regions.

• The hotspots provide crucial ecosystem services for human life, such as provision of clean water, pollination and climate regulation.
  

• Conservation in the hotspots promotes sustainable management of these essential natural resources and supports economic growth, which also reduces drivers of violent conflict.
  

• So, the answer is in-situ conservation.
