Oct 10, 2008 - Great video! People are part of the ecosystem-ANTHROME! My ecoregion map is limited, pins and stickets all over...i think it will help us to identify "pristine" sites and help us to rethink how we classify sites: based on their processes interconnected to humans. I'm sure there are opposing philosophies preparing to compete for control over these new boundaries...I think its about time we had an Ecoreality Check.
