Forests are called as biodiversity hot spots, because they contain high levels of species diversity that are threatened with extinction.

Forests where a large number of flora and fauna species are found are termed as 'biodiversity hot spots '. The range of different life forms like bacteria, fungi, ferns, flowering plants, nematodes, insects, birds, reptiles and so on are present in forests. Certain areas in the western ghats of Maharashtra and Kerela are examples of biodiversity hot spots.
