Covering virtually all freshwater habitats on Earth, this first-ever ecoregion map, together with associated species data, is a useful tool for underpinning global and regional conservation planning efforts, particularly to identify outstanding and imperiled freshwater systems; for serving as a logical framework for large-scale conservation strategies; and for providing a global-scale knowledge base for increasing freshwater biogeographic literacy. </p> </div> </section> </div> </div>  <footer id="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="wrapper wrapper-transparent"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span6 small-screen-center"> <h3> FE<span class="light">OW</span> </h3> <p> 漏 WWF/TNC 2019 | <a href="https://www.feow.org/copyright">Copyright Notice</a> | <a href="https://www.feow.org/sponsors">Sponsors</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/bootstrap.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/jquery.flexslider-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/jquery.tweet.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/jquery.fancybox.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/jquery.fancybox-media.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://www.feow.org/js/jquery.form.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> <script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/7400ad2529.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function handleSelect(elm) { window.location = elm.value; } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({ placement: 'top', trigger: 'hover' }); }); </script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-FgpCb/KJQlLNfOu91ta32o/NMZxltwRo8QtmkMRdAu8=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.6/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-wHAiFfRlMFy6i5SRaxvfOCifBUQy1xHdJ/yoi7FRNXMRBu5WHdZYu1hA6ZOblgut" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.2.1/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-B0UglyR+jN6CkvvICOB2joaf5I4l3gm9GU6Hc1og6Ls7i6U/mkkaduKaBhlAXv9k" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://unpkg.com/bootstrap-table@1.15.4/dist/bootstrap-table.min.js"></script>  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-92397375-1"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'UA-92397375-1'); </script> </body>
