KEYWORDS: Eco-regions,natural features, environmental agreements.

As a comment to Christian Kleps' contribution, I would like to explain that natural features like mountain chains, riparian habitats along rivers, estuaries, wetland areas etc are an eminent component of the eco-region concept. Such areas should be perceived as a unit and subsequently managed/protected in a consistent way.
