Abstract/Summary:
The Ecoregions 2017 mapping tool displays 846 global ecoregions, designating terrestrial ecoregions with more than half, less than half, and 20% or less remaining natural habitat.
Relevance for the Short Term Action Plan on Ecosystem
Restoration:
This type of mapping tool is useful for activity A1. Although this is a global assessment, it can help to scope out which ecoregions present at the national scale have lost most of their coverage globally. In combination with locally relevant sources of data on drivers of degradation it could help determine which ecoregions could be prioritized for restoration (A2).
- A1: Assess degraded ecosystems
- A2: Identify/prioritize locations for meeting national contributions to Aichi Targets
