The Georegion Concept
Political boundaries have contributed to the fragmentation of natural
biogeographical areas. Fragmentation of natural boundaries, by highway and urban
development has led to loss of floral and faunal diversity, and ecological habitat. The
basic philosophy of the georegion concept is to define the parameters wherein geology
controls, limits or influences biological functioning in a geological based system that is
necessary for the continuation of all life on earth including our species(May, 1998).
Georegion maps should be used to develop criteria for the preservation of biological
habitat, management of water quality standards, monitoring human impacts and the
development of maintenance programs within a georegion. Sustainability of a
georegions is necessary for the ecological integrity of Earth communities (May, 1998).4
