What is a bioregion ?

All over the world, our administrative regions tend to have exclusive competencies, like running schools, public transport, professional training, economic development, fund management and land planning.

Areas are defined by political boundaries, rather than the ecological system where they’re situated. But in recent years, an environmental alternative has slowly been gaining ground; that of the bioregion. 

We owe the concept to Americans Peter Berg and Judy Goldhaft. The radical environmentalists wanted to find harmony between the natural environment and our human culture. The term emerged in the 1960s and 70s in California.

Are we saying regions would no longer be divided by administration then ? So you’re saying everything is thought out according to nature right ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
