Ecoregion conservation status - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (266 words)
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 200 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1240 words)
The Global 200 is the list of ecoregions identified by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as priorities for conservation.
Of these ecoregions, the WWF selected the Global 200 as the ecoregions most crucial to the conservation of global biodiversity.
Based on a comprehensive list of ecoregions, The Global 200 includes all major habitat types (biomes), all ecosystems types, and species from every major habitat type.
