As one of the first projects of an International Collective People's Movement (https://rebrand.ly/peoples-join), which anybody can get started on:
Maps of ecoregions, comprised of local watersheds.
This builds on:
* @cazort's @bPlantOrg ecoregional map (https://bplant.org/regions.php)
* @matt_heberger's watershed map/tool (https://mghydro.com/watersheds/)
* The Dept of Bioregions (https://deptofbioregion.org/bioregions/ecoregions-watersheds/)
* The #Cascadia Bioregion (https://cascadiabioregion.org/)
* Europe's map of ecological regions (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/figures/dmeer-digital-map-of-european-ecological-regions)
