Conservation hotspots failing to protect vulnerable species, risking extinction.
Biodiversity hotspots are not enough to protect species that have limited ranges. These species are more at risk than common ones. The usual hotspot thresholds miss around 41-45% of these vulnerable species. Relying only on hotspots for conservation can put these species in danger. It's better to use other methods like systematic conservation planning to make sure we protect a wider range of species and balance conservation with economic needs.
