 Although it is necessary to develop a long-term, integrated strategy for biodiversity conservation, urgent immediate action is highly needed in major focal areas, the biodiversity hotspots, to salvage these highly threatened areas. This section analyzed, in detail, the characteristics and most important threats to these areas, and devised a plan for immediate conservation action.
