IB ESS 3.2.8 (HL) Biodiversity hotspots
Practise explaining biodiversity hotspots by linking high species richness, endemism, habitat threat and conservation urgency.
How this is tested
- use biome or ecosystem evidence to explain why an area qualifies as a biodiversity hotspot
- evaluate whether conservation need is greater in tropical biomes than other ecosystems
