LIST OF ALL WORLD BIOREGIONS
We propose a new global way of organizing the Earth based on natural living systems. This framework understands territory through watersheds, mountain chains, forests, deserts, coastlines, islands, and the cultural histories shaped by them. It is the first comprehensive attempt to build a unified taxonomy that integrates nature, culture, science, and memory within a single global structure. Each bioregion has its own languages, art forms, food systems, spiritual traditions, endangered species, and environmental challenges. We document cultures, subcultures, rituals, crafts, architecture, medicinal knowledge, and artistic traditions. This produces a master index joining geography, ecology, anthropology, and library science into a common standard. This Worldwide Bioregions List functions as both a scientific catalogue and a cultural atlas. Because this is a pioneering global standard, the method remains open and participatory. Research evolves through a living library capable of renewal and refinement. Through this perspective, the world is no longer seen as fragmented states, but as interconnected ecosystems helping humanity toward its future.
