Biogeographical regionalization

Biogeographical regionalization is the process of dividing the Earth into distinct regions based on the types of plants and animals found there. Scientists categorize these regions to better understand biodiversity and how species adapt to different environments. Each region reflects specific climatic, geological, and ecological conditions, influencing the types of flora and fauna that thrive. This classification helps in conservation efforts, guiding policies to protect ecosystems and species that may be endangered or unique to certain areas. Understanding these regions also sheds light on the evolutionary history and relationships among living organisms.
