Identifying hotspots of species threat has been a successful approach for setting conservation priorities. One important challenge in conservation is that, in many hotspots, export industries continue to drive overexploitation. Conservation measures must consider not just the point of impact, but also the consumer demand that ultimately drives resource use. To understand which species threat hotspots are driven by which consumers, we have developed a new approach to link a set of biodiversity footprint accounts to the hotspots of threatened species on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The result is a map connecting consumption to spatially explicit hotspots driven by production on a global scale. Locating biodiversity threat hotspots driven by consumption of goods and services can help to connect conservationists, consumers, companies and governments in order to better target conservation actions.
识别物种威胁热点一直是确定保护优先事项的成功方法。保护工作面临的一个重要挑战是，在许多热点地区，出口产业持续推动过度开发。保护措施不仅要考虑影响点，还要考虑最终驱动资源利用的消费者需求。为了了解哪些消费者驱动了哪些物种威胁热点，我们开发了一种新方法，将一系列生物多样性足迹账户与《国际自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录》上的濒危物种热点联系起来。结果是一张将消费与全球范围内由生产驱动的空间明确热点联系起来的地图。确定由商品和服务消费驱动的生物多样性威胁热点有助于将保护主义者、消费者、公司和政府联系起来，以便更好地瞄准保护行动。
