A biodiversity hotspot is an area with very high diversity. Japan is the ecosystem I am doing. One of the animals in Japan is the Sado shrew. My second animal from Japan is the Endangered Ryukyu black-breasted leaf-turtle. the third animal I chose from Japan is the Endangered red-crowned crane. One plant from japan is the Shirane-aoi. My second pick is the Togakushis gouma. the ecosystem provides annual rainfall so you could do some farming there for food. two threats are  Forests are being cleared for ski resorts and golf courses. Also, there are more roads are being built so cars can go to places.]]> 2022-08-17 20:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gharwood8_1/hzmzjgc0zranwelj/wish/2263660455 gharwood8_1 https://padlet.com/gharwood8_1/hzmzjgc0zranwelj/wish/2263660458 A biodiversity hotspot is a biologically diverse terrestrial area. Three animals that live in Irano-Anatolian are the flathead trout, Asiatic cheetah, and the white-headed duck. Two plant species that live there are orchids and salt plants. The Silk Road once passed through this ecosystem. Two threats that this ecosystem is facing are the development of irrigation schemes for agriculture, and increased deforestation.
