Western Eurasia covers most of Europe and is the westernmost section of the Palearctic -- one of the world’s eight major biogeographical realms – with 13 bioregions in total. This realm division consists predominately of temperate broadleaf forests, spanning from Great Britain & Ireland to the western edge of the Caspian Sea. It also includes the Pontic grasslands of Southern Russia & Ukraine. In the south, three bioregions span the length of the Mediterranean Sea – from Spain, Italy, and Greece to western Turkey, Lebanon, and Israel. Off the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula is one additional bioregion surrounding the Azores islands.
