The final boundaries of a bioregion are best described by the people who have lived within it, through human recognition of the realities of living-in-place. 1, record 2, English, - bioregion

Une biorégion peut initialement être déterminée par le biais de la climatologie, de la géomorphologie, de la géographie animale et végétale, de l'histoire naturelle et d'autres sciences naturelles encore. Cependant, ce sont les gens qui y vivent, avec leur capacité à reconnaître les réalités du vivre in situ qui s'y pratique, qui peuvent le mieux définir les limites d'une biorégion. 1, record 2, French, - bior%C3%A9gion
