Biodiversity Hotspots are regions that have a high percentage of endemic species. UNESCO has identfied several such Hotspots throughout the world, the Western Ghats being one of them. Since these species cannot be found anywhere else in the world, it has become highly imperative that the Hotspots are safely guarded from human destruction.
