All of the terrestrial ecozones in the world at National Geographic’s
Map Machine site:
Terrestrial Ecoregions of the
World 
Scientists have
mapped 867 land-based ecoregions across the globe. Instead of being defined by political boundaries, each is distinguished
by its shared ecological features, climate, and plant and animal
communities. A clickable
map with descriptions of all the ecoregions can be found on the National Geographic
site.
