RESOLVE 2017 Terrestrial Ecoregions (Dinerstein et al.)
Source primaire
RESOLVE / Dinerstein et al., BioScience (2017)
The peer-reviewed 2017 map of the world’s 846 terrestrial ecoregions — successor to the WWF 2001 scheme — with each ecoregion’s biome, biogeographic realm, area, and "Nature Needs Half" protection tier. The structural foundation of every Plotwright ecoregion page.
Ce que vous y trouverez
Ecoregion boundaries + names (the /regions roster)
Biome + biogeographic realm classification
Nature Needs Half conservation tier (1-4)
Données précises que nous en tirons : ecoregion id + name, biome, realm, area, NNH protection tier.
Bon à savoir
Conservation framing. The "Nature Needs Half" tiers (Half Protected → Nature Imperiled) come from the same Dinerstein et al. (2017) paper; Plotwright surfaces them verbatim, not as its own assessment.

Attention
Ecoregion polygons are coarse at local scale — a point near a boundary may sit in a neighbouring ecoregion. Use as regional context, not a property-line determination.
