	Ecoregion conservation status (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Conservation status of the Global 200 ecoregions is used to classify ecoregions into one of three broad categories: "critical/endangered", "vulnerable", or "relatively stable/relatively intact".
		The conservation status of terrestrial ecoregions is noted : CE for critical or endangered, V for vulnerable, and RS for relatively stable or intact.
		Conservation status was based on landscape (or equivalent for freshwater and marine ecoregions), such as total habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, degree of degradation, degree of protection needed, degree of urgency for conservation needs, types of conservation practiced or required.

	Terrestrial ecoregion
		Ecoregions are defined by the World Wildlife Fund as "relatively large units of land or water containing a distinct assemblage of natural communities and species, with boundaries that approximate the original extent of natural communities prior to major land-use change".
		Terrestrial ecoregions are land ecoregions, as distinct from freshwater ecoregions and marine ecoregions.
		Ecoregions are classified by biome type, which are the major global plant communities determined by rainfall and climate.

		This latter represents an estimation of the current and future ability of the ecoregion to sustain ecological viability and to react to environmental changes.
		It may also help identify the origin of invasive species, and offer leverage for slowing down or stopping the intrusion and settling of the latter.

		Because ecoregions are designed as far as possible to be biologically coherent, it is possible to set more meaningful goals to conserve biodiversity that focus on populations, processes and ecological phenomena and threats important to the region.
		Ecoregion conservation develops large-scale strategies for 'ecoregions' to ensure that entire ecological processes are maintained.
		Ecoregion conservation aims to develop conservation strategies that incorporate both biological and socio-economic viewpoints, resulting in visionary, innovative and ambitious plans.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Chocó-Darién moist forests (NT0115)
		The ecoregion of the wet forests of Chocó-Darién extends from eastern Panama, in the provinces of Darién and Kuna-Yala, along almost the entire Pacific Coast of Colombia, in the departments of Chocó, Cauca, Valle del Cauca, and Nariño.
		There are three principal geomorphologic types in the ecoregion: alluvial plains of recent origin, low mountains formed by the relatively recent dissection of sediments from the tertiary and pleistocene periods, and the complexes in mountain areas consisting of mesozoic rocks (West 1957).
		Most of the ecoregion has typical lateritic soils with reddish clay, although the soils are younger and less leached in some areas, especially close to the base of the Andes and in the floodplains of the major rivers.

	Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecoregions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		We believe thinking ecoregion instead of political geography (ie, borders between "regions" being defined by the political borders of nations) is a better way to solve some global issues.
		Superimposing the ecozones on that, and the subordinate rivers flowing to each ocean through them, and then the ecoregions on the surface, is the only objective way to break down the Earth's biosphere without cognizance of political boundaries or languages.
		Translating the ecoregions and rivers into Latin isn't hard for those that have multiple names and were colonized by Europeans.

		The WWF assigns a conservation status to each ecoregion in the Global 200: critical or endangered; vulnerable; and relatively stable or intact.
		WWF say ecoregions could be considered as conservation units at regional scale because they meet similar biological communities.
		Selection of the ecoregions was based on analyses of species richness, species endemism, unique higher taxa, unusual ecological or evolutionary phenomena, and global rarity of major habitat type.

	Advances in Ecoregional Conservation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Ecoregions are basically regional ecosystems: relatively large areas of land or water that harbor characteristic species, communities, ecological phenomena and processes, and environmental conditions.
		The conservation status of ecoregions was based on an assessment of landscape and ecosystem-level features such as habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, the size and number of large blocks of habitat, the degree of protection, and current and potential threats.
		Different combinations of biological distinctiveness and conservation status were used to prioritize ecoregions for conservation action and identify the most appropriate suite of conservation activities to be undertaken within them.

		This ecoregion represents the Hardwickia-dominated woodlands in the central Deccan Plateau, a vegetation type that is distinct from the teak (Tectona grandis) or sal (Shorea robusta) dominated dry forests that cover most of the Deccan Plateau.
		The ecoregion's conservation status was changed from vulnerable to endangered because of the projected impacts of the human population on the remaining forest blocks
		The Hardwickia-dominated woodlands represented by this ecoregion extend across the Deccan Plateau South (6A) and Central Plateau (6B) biotic provinces identified by Rodgers and Panwar (1988).

	Priority-Setting For Biodiversity Conservation
		Therefore, an ecoregional priority-setting process is primarily intended to help guide the timing, sequence, and level of effort of different conservation activities, and not to diminish or deflect conservation efforts in areas of less immediate priority.
		Conservation of blocks of natural habitat large enough to be responsive to large-scale periodic disturbances and long-term change.
		Unlike other studies determining conservation status, we would not emphasize the presence or extent of protected areas as a first filter because the distribution of protected areas does not necessarily reflect the current configuration of original habitat nor the integrity of ecosystems over the entire landscape.

		While enlightened conservation policy and management practices have replaced those of the region's haunting past, we must overcome new threats to restore and maintain healthy wilderness.
		A century after President Theodore Roosevelt and others first advocated that conservation for future generations should be part of public policy, much of the region is again forested, its air cleaner, its water less polluted, its biodiversity in recovery.
		Regional conservation groups, such as the Southern Appalachian Forest Coalition and the Northern Forest Alliance, have devoted years of research to identifying remaining natural areas and the means by which they can be consolidated, restored, and sustained.

	Ecoregion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Another way of looking at an ecoregion is a "recurring pattern of ecosystems associated with characteristic combinations of soil and landform that characterise that region" (Brunckhorst, 2000).
		Others have defined ecoregions as areas of ecological potential based on combinations of biophysical parameters such as climate and topography.
		The biodiversity of flora, fauna and ecosystems that characterise an ecoregion tend to be distinct from that of other ecoregions.

		By recalculating polygon areas and adding up the proposed protected areas for each ecoregion, then comparing those values to the total for each corresponding ecoregion we were able to calculate the percentage of each ecoregion that was proposed protectd.
		To determine the range of elevation protected and proposed for protection, the unioned ecoregions and conservation status layer was queried in turn for each ecoregion and a status of protected.
		Similarly, (by isolating each ecoregion and using it to clip the elevation point layer) the ecoregions layer was used to determine the elevation range of the ecoregions in general, allowing us to determine how much of the elevation range of each ecoregion was protected or proposed for protection.
