Description
Summary:Flather et al describe the characteristics of hot spots in the conterminous US and examine how hot spot-targeted recovery efforts have the potential to be a more efficient strategy for biodiversity conservation. A potential solution to the shortcomings of the Endangered Species Act is to define ecosystems that warrant conservation based on geographic and environmental attributes.
