Nice but confused on how to use it.

Ecoregions

Major Habitat Type
Ecoregion
535 Afrotropic Tropical and subtropical floodplain rivers and wetland complexes Sudanic Congo - Oubangi
539 Afrotropic Tropical and subtropical floodplain rivers and wetland complexes Upper Congo Rapids
540 Afrotropic Tropical and subtropical upland rivers Upper Congo
549 Afrotropic Tropical and subtropical floodplain rivers and wetland complexes Lower Congo Rapids

Lol! I found this resource only today on Facebook when I joined a Biotope Aquarium group. Its pretty amazing isnt it? I know there is a lot out there that will be helpful to us, but will take some time seeking out those tools.

Absolutely. It's a great starting point for finding the information and more details. Simply giving the name of a water zone such as dambo would help many people not from Africa knowing this word.

This shall be consuming a few hours of my life in the upcoming weeks.
