The human role appears to be central in the future of the Mediterranean environment, because its impact and management choices are responsible for the persistence of this high biodiversity. With 10 regional hotspots and 50 plant biodiversity refuge areas, the Mediterranean region is threatened by the quickness and the severity of the current and forecasted environmental changes. At a finer scale, the Maritime Alps regional hotspot constitutes the most important endemic center of the whole Alps region, but it has been subjected to drastic environmental transformations for the last decades. The comparisons between the distribution of refuges and human threats exhibit similar spatial patterns, both at the Mediterranean region scale and, to a l...
