Nearctic Realm

The Nearctic Realm is one of Earth's eight terrestrial ecological regions, covering North America, including Greenland, Central Florida, and the highlands of Mexico. It encompasses diverse habitats like forests, deserts, and tundras, supporting a wide variety of plant and animal life. This realm is characterized by its distinctive flora and fauna, such as bears, wolves, and certain bird species, which have evolved uniquely within this geographic area. The Nearctic Realm is important for understanding North America's natural ecosystems and their evolutionary history, and it plays a vital role in global biodiversity and ecological processes.
