Terrestrial ECOS WWF Over the past eight years WWF's Conservation Science Program (CSP) has developed a biogeographic regionalization of the Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. WWF term their biogeographic units ecoregions, which they define as a relatively large units of land or water containing a distinct assemblage 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. There are multiple uses for the terrestrial ecoregion map in WWF efforts to conserve biodiversity around the world.
