    Biofuel crops are expanding rapidly but their growth risks damaging biodiversity if not properly managed. The top 10 biofuel producing countries contain many biodiversity hotspots and areas with low agricultural suitability that should be avoided for biofuel expansion. Biofuel production needs to focus on degraded lands and areas suitable for agriculture to minimize threats to biodiversity from converting habitats.
