Hello, everyone.
My research team thought the following idea: as a conservation event, we want to design a map and put some species (animals and/or plants) in a specific terrestrial ecoregion as those defined by the One Earth framework.
We want to rank all species mentioned in the text of each ecoregion in a vertical list from highest to lowest representation for this specific ecoregion. We decided to exclude to from every list species that have been re/introduced in a specific ecoregion but never been extinct in the wild (such as muskox in eurasian tundra, red fox in Australia etc).
Finally we will select some species to put in the ecoregion they are most representative for them, taking into account species distribution and where they have large populations (each species will be only in one ecoregion, apart from some species that expand in more than one zoogeographic realm such as brown brown bear, leopard, lion, grey wolf etc or species that migrate between different zoogeographic realms, such as steppe eagle, demoiselle crane etc).
We need to fill all (or at least almost all) ecoregions. we don't need to have many species in one ecoregion, even one is good.
Is there anyone that know/or visited the One Earth website discuss the project with me?
