Biodiversity Cold Spots

“Are there places with low biological diversity threatened by human-induced activity?”

It’s common to focus on biodiversity hotspots for regions threatened by climate collapse. However, there are places with low biodiversity but contain a large number of endemic species. If some of these species die off, then it could lead to a rapid systems collapse. These Biodiversity Cold Spots are a vital part of the Earth’s functioning and need to be cared for. Atolls are classified as biodiversity cold spots.
