You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
An ecoregion is an area that consists of specific amounts of biodiversity and is large but smaller than a bioregion. A conservation status is a way to measure the degree of alteration in an ecoregion. This is done by a multitude of measures including habitat loss, protection, and fragmentation. I will outline how ecoregion conservation status is put forth using many sources, including an example of the ways it helps a species of sponge. There are new sources from the World Wildlife Fund that talk about this topic. The addition of pictures highlights what an ecoregion looks like and how a conservation status is done on an ecoregion. This topic is a subsection of the two words, so pulling information from both Wikipedia pages can be helpful to address missing information. I have found a paper that highlights what ecoregion conservation is and explains in much more detail how they are labeled and things that are done to conserve the area. This would be great to write about and connect back to how it becomes an ecoregion of concern. I plan to also focus on examples of the use os ecoregion conservation to show how tactics are used to combat the fall of biodiversity in specific regions and to enlighten about what conservation looks like in ecoregions throughout the world. There are lots of new papers around the united states and Canada that focus on specific ecoregions but there are also papers that broadly explain ecoregion conservation over the entire planet.
