What is the importance of endemic hotspots to biodiversity conservation? A. Endemic hotspots contain many species found nowhere else, so the conservation of a small amount of area will protect many species. B. Endemic hotspots have the highest species diversity, so their conservation will protect the most species.  C. Endemic hotspots are those that contain species vital to human existence, ssuch as medicinal species, and therefore humans rely on these areas the most.  D. Endemic hotspots are where speciation rates are thegreatest, so the conservation of those areas will likely lead to the formation of many species in the future.  E. Endemic hotspots have very low ecosystem stability, therefore require more protections to avoid extiction.
