Biodiversity hotspots are the living engines of our planet, regions teeming with unique, irreplaceable plant life that form the foundation of the Natural Products Industry, as well as human culture, nutrition, and innovation.
Though these areas cover less than 3% of Earth’s land, they shelter well over half the worldβs plant species, including many that have given rise to the foods, medicines, fibers, and innovations woven into daily life.
From the wild origins of cacao in Mesoamerica and pepper in the Western Ghats to the remarkable trees of Madagascar and the life-changing botanicals of the Andes, these hotspots are where our most vital and useful plants were bornβ¦and
β‘οΈ where our future solutions for nutrition, health, and new technologies may also begin.
Protecting and learning from the biodiversity hotspots isnβt just about conservation, but empowering the next era of discovery and sustainability for the whole of the Natural Products Industry, humanity and the Earth. π π½οΈ π π π‘ π βοΈ π βΎοΈ
