Ecoregions

Ecoregions are areas of the Earth that share similar environmental conditions, including climate, soil type, vegetation, and wildlife. These regions are categorized based on factors such as geography and ecosystems, helping scientists understand and manage biodiversity. For instance, a desert ecoregion will have different plants and animals adapted to arid conditions compared to a rainforest ecoregion, which is rich in moisture and diverse species. By studying ecoregions, we gain insights into conservation efforts and ecological health, ensuring that both habitats and the organisms that inhabit them can thrive.
