Cascadia Bioregion Ecology

The Cascadia Bioregion encompasses the Pacific Northwest, including parts of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. It features diverse ecosystems such as lush forests, coastal regions, and mountain ranges. The area's ecology relies on interconnected natural systems—forests, rivers, and wildlife—that support each other. This region is known for its high biodiversity, including iconic species like Pacific salmon, Douglas firs, and orcas. Human activities like forestry, conservation efforts, and urban development influence its ecological health. Preserving Cascadia's ecological integrity involves recognizing these interdependencies and sustainably managing resources to maintain biological richness and environmental resilience.
