Biodiversity Hotspots



Here's a bit more about biodiversity hotspots- Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda are located in what the call the Easter Afromontane hotspots. Also, it the website states the exact definition of a hot spot which includes species abundance and presence of endemic species as we discussed, but also note that the area will be considered a hot spot if it has lost at least 70% of its habitat. Check out more on this website about hotpot statistics, an interactive map, and conservation efforts.
