Eco-Region

An Eco-Region is a geographically defined area characterized by distinct natural features, climate, plants, and animals that make it unique. These regions share similar environmental conditions and ecosystems, which influence the types of species that live there and the way land is used. Eco-Regions help scientists and conservationists understand how different areas function naturally and support biodiversity. They are important for managing natural resources sustainably and protecting ecosystems by recognizing the boundaries that define natural habitats, rather than political borders.
