Japan Forest Islands 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 Japan Forest Islands bioregion is located in the Eastern Eurasia realm (eastern Palearctic) and contains seven ecoregions – Hokkaido Deciduous Forests (666), Nihonkai Evergreen Forests (670), Nihonkai Montane Deciduous Forests (671), Taiheiyo Evergreen Forests (682), Taiheiyo Montane Deciduous Forests (683), Hokkaido Montane Conifer Forests (698), Honshu Alpine Conifer Forests (699) – totaling approximately 38 million hectares of land area.
