Explanation:
BirdLife International is indeed a Global Partnership of Conservation Organizations. It is a worldwide alliance of organizations dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats.
The concept of 'biodiversity hotspots' did not originate from BirdLife International. This term was given by Norman Myers in 1988.
BirdLife International also identifies and designates sites known as 'Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas' (IBAs). These sites are crucial for the conservation of birds and other biodiversity, and they provide essential habitats and resources for various species.
