"description":"The WWF's Conservation Science Program (CSP) has developed a biogeographic regionalization of the Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. WWF termed the biogeographic units ecoregions, defined as relatively large units of land or water containing distinct assemblages of natural communities sharing a large majority of species, dynamics, and environmental conditions. Ecoregions represent the original distribution of distinct assemblages of species and communities.",
