Global biodiversity is becoming more threatened as the human population continues to grow and use the world\u2019s resources. Turtles have the misfortune of being on the leading edge of biodiversity decline and serve as an indicator of ecosystem degradation.Researchers have identified 16 turtle \u201chotspots\u201d around the world. These regions host the many native species of tortoises and freshwater turtles. By focusing on such areas, conservationists can target preservation efforts where the greatest effects can be achieved.Scientists from the Chelonian Research Foundation, Conservation International, and State University of New York at Stony Brook recently published an\u00a0article\u00a0in the journal\u00a0Chelonian Conservation and Biology\u00a0that names three types of hotspots\u2014biodiversity hotspots, high-biodiversity wilderness areas, and turtle priority areas. Taxon richness and endemism values are offered for the 16 identified hotspots, which host 262 species, or 83 percent of all turtle species.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-572603","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTurtle Hotspots Identified Around the World Contain Diverse Species and Richness - Revolution<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Global biodiversity is becoming more threatened as the human population continues to grow and use the world\u2019s resources.
