Ecoregions species lists with red list status
This dataset was assembled in 2020. It contains a list of species known to occur in each terrestrial ecoregion of the world, based on the Dinerstein (2017) ecoregion definitions. The IUCN Red List conservation status is also included for each species, for as many years as they were available. Includes mammals, birds, and amphibians.
