What is the primary reason for targeting 'biodiversity hotspots1 for conservation?

They are the only areas where species are seriously threatened in the world

The number of species threatened far exceeds our capacity to protect them and we can therefore only concentrate on areas of highest species diversity

To protect all areas of threatened species would not allow for new species to develop
