Is this available as an OSM layer? I'm more interested in the ecoregions than the bioregions but both would be great.

Re: Bioregions 2023
#22Years ago I used such a map to travel to a few faraway places with a similar climate to discover ecosystems that felt close to my own and yet so weirdly different. A bit like an uncanny valley without the revulsion because it was a beautiful experience.
I would have used that map a different way: Find close locations (to save on transportation cost, time and footprint) with a radically different climate (for the change of scenery etc).
You don't get the sort of uncanny valley I'm describing that way but indeed it's better for the reasons you cited.

#23They seem to have forgotten about the ocean...
An excellent explanation can be found in a video[0] which also relies on the "Marine Ecoregions of the World" by Spalding referenced in the OP article.
