The correct option is A Insitu conservation

  • A biodiversity hotspot is an area which has lost at least 70 per cent of its primary native vegetation

  • It contains at least 1,500 species of vascular plants which are endemic.

  • There are currently 36 recognized biodiversity hotspots.

  • These are Earth’s most biologically rich yet threatened terrestrial regions.

  • The hotspots provide crucial ecosystem services for human life, such as provision of clean water, pollination and climate regulation.
  • Conservation in the hotspots promotes sustainable management of these essential natural resources and supports economic growth, which also reduces drivers of violent conflict.
  • So, the answer is in-situ conservation.
