We've become accustomed to seeing the world divided into countries, states, and provinces, but there is another way to see and better understand the planet we call home. One Earth presents a new biogeographic framework called Bioregions 2023, which delineates 185 separate bioregions organized within the world's major biogeographical realms. The bioregions, and the iconic species associated with each, can be explored via One Earth's Interactive Navigator.


Bioregional regeneration is about re-adapting human patterns to bio-geophysical patterns so that life creates conditions that are conducive to life.
