East Eurasian Coastal Tundra bioregion

The bioregion’s land area is provided in units of 1,000 hectares. The protection goal is the combined Global Safety Net (GSN1) areas for the component ecoregions. The protection level indicates the percentage of the GSN goal that is currently protected on a scale of 0-10. N/A means data is not available at this time.

The East Eurasian Coastal Tundra bioregion is located in the Subarctic Eurasia realm (northern Palearctic) and contains three ecoregions – Chukchi Peninsula Tundra (772), Russian Bering Tundra (779), Wrangel Island Arctic Desert (783) – totaling approximately 78 million hectares of land area. 

The East Eurasian Coastal Tundra bioregion is part of the Sea of Okhotsk & Bearing Tundra/Taiga subrealm and is made up of three ecoregions: (1) Russian Bering Tundra (2) Chukchi Peninsula Tundra (3) Wrangel Island Arctic Desert. 

One Earth is dedicated to mobilizing philanthropic capital to protect the ecosystems and peoples of Subarctic Eurasia. Visit the Project Marketplace to explore projects in this realm that need your support. Learn more about each of the East Eurasian Coastal Tundra ecoregions below.
