The title reminded me of Dwellers in the Land, the Bioregional vision by Kirkpatrick Sale. Politically as unfeasible an idea as any wide-eyed utopia, yet very much central to any realistic hope of sustainable, long-term survival.

I am always suspicious of any of these that chuck Meganesia/Sahul and NZ into a single grouping at any level except political.

Land of marsupials vs no land mammals.

Eucalyptus vs way more diverse assemblage.

Very different indigenous land management between the two.

Comes across as a little lazy.

Yes it lost a lot of integrity for me when it shows New Zealand as having one single ecological system (bioregion) - a country arguably as biodiverse as the entire USA which it shows having at least 18 bioregions. Disappointing.
