World Wildlife Fund Terrestrial Ecoregions represents global terrestrial ecoregions. Ecoregions are defined as relatively large areas of land or water in the world containing a characteristic set of natural communities that share a large majority of their species, dynamics, and environmental conditions. This data set contains all terrestrial ecoregions, which include those of the Global 200. Global 200 ecoregions are a collection of the Earth’s most outstanding and diverse terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats where the Earth’s biological wealth is most distinctive and rich, where its loss will be most severely felt, and we must protect if we are to preserve the web of life.

Mapeados pela primeira vez, os seis biomas continentais brasileiros – Amazônia, Cerrado, Caatinga, Mata Atlântica, Pantanal e Pampa – são apresentados no Mapa de Biomas do Brasil, resultado da parceria entre o IBGE e o Ministério do Meio Ambiente (MMA). Assim como o Mapa de Vegetação do Brasil 2004, que lhe serviu de referência, o Mapa de Biomas do Brasil se junta à série “Mapas Murais” do IBGE, que inclui outros temas como relevo, solos, geologia, unidades de conservação federais, fauna e flora.
