Lists of ecoregions

Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World (Olson et al. 2001, BioScience)
WWF terrestrial ecoregions of the world
One way of mapping the world into 18 terrestrial vegetation biomes, each containing one or more ecoregions

There are articles relating to several ecoregion classification systems, defined by the conservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), and like agencies around the world. The WWF uses three main classifications: Biogeographic realms (also called ecozones), biomes (also called major habitat types), and ecoregions.[1][2]

  • Global 200 ecoregions (WWF), 238 single or combined ecoregions identified by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as priorities for conservation.
