The 'Web of Life' consists mainly of the Global 200 and the endangered
animal and plant species which inhabit them. The
Global 200 is a representation of some of the world's most
outstanding and distinctive
ecoregions. They have been identified through a comprehensive assessment
of the world's biodiversity. A vast majority of all threatened animal and
plant varieties depend on the Global 200 ecoregions for their very
existence. Together these ecoregions form the 'Web of Life'.
This is a critical period for saving Life on Earth. Threats to the 'Web
of Life' are on the increase and we are running out of time to find and
implement solutions whereby we can live in harmony with the natural world
and shape a future for our children as rich in natural resources and
natural wonders as the one we ourselves enjoy.
