  Ecoregion conservation status - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, and types of conservation practiced or required.

 Global Retailers - Profiles - Demographics - Rank - Consumer Business - Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
The global marketplace is important to retailers for a wide range of reasons — from the back-office issues of sourcing to the brand experience for the consumer.
For many U.S. retailers, the initial impetus behind globalization was on finding low-cost production sources, and it is in this area where several companies excelled. More recently, U.S. retailers are looking to globalization as a source for new customers and as a means to keep their selling venues and merchandise fresh and relevant to the consumer.
On the economic front, a continued recovery in the U.S. is of critical importance to global retail growth in 2004.

The Global 200 approach, adopted by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), identifies 233 high priority areas that are globally representative of all habitat types.
Given their focus on ecoregions, large units of land or water containing a characteristic set of natural communities, and given the large number of regions included on the list, the Global 200 ecosystems comprises a much larger proportion of the terrestrial land surface.
The Global 200 report states that, among terrestrial ecosystems included on their list, 47 percent are considered critical or endangered and 29 percent are vulnerable, leaving a little over a quarter that are stable or intact.
