Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) is a biogeographic regionalisation of Australia developed by the Australian Government's Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. It was developed for use as a planning tool, for example for the establishment of a National Reserve System.
