The African Bioregional Library encompasses roughly 30,365,000 square kilometers (3,036,500,000 hectares / 7,507,000,000 acres) of land, making it the second largest continental landmass on Earth, with approximately 30,000 kilometers of coastline extending along the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean systems (land area and continental dimensions widely reported in Britannica and United Nations Statistics Division land-area tables; coastline values derived from aggregated maritime boundary measurements published across global geographic datasets). This library organizes the continent into major bioregions that include the hyper-arid Sahara Desert, the transitional Sahel belt, the vast savanna systems of East and Southern Africa, the Congo Basin tropical rainforests, the Ethiopian and East African highlands, the wetlands and floodplains associated with the Nile, Niger, and Okavango systems, the Cape Floristic Region as one of the world’s great biodiversity hotspots, and the distinctive environments of Madagascar and surrounding islands. Within these regions, the African Bioregional Library places cultural, ecological, and historical knowledge in relation to one another, documenting the lifeways, social structures, spiritual cosmologies, and artistic expressions of peoples such as Tuareg, Fulani, Yoruba, Maasai, Shona, Berber, San, Dogon, Himba, Oromo, and many others, whose histories reveal complex adaptations to grazing regimes, agroforestry systems, long-distance trade, ritual arts, and intergenerational knowledge transmission. It highlights endangered and threatened ecosystems including tropical forest corridors, mangrove systems, montane grasslands, and coastal dune environments, while also examining the pressures from climate change, desertification, mining, commercial agriculture, poaching, and rapid urban expansion. At the same time, the library studies traditional conservation practices such as sacred groves, pastoral mobility, rotational farming, and customary law systems governing land and water stewardship, situating them alongside contemporary sustainability science, biodiversity monitoring, and environmental governance debates. In this way, the African Bioregional Library functions as both a research infrastructure and a cultural memory archive, preserving languages, oral traditions, medicinal plant knowledge, architectural forms, musical systems, and material arts while supporting new ecological literacy and fostering an understanding of Africa not as a single homogeneous entity but as an interrelated constellation of bioregions whose human and nonhuman communities are deeply embedded in dynamic landscapes and evolving environmental histories (continental figures and regional categorizations synthesized from authoritative encyclopedic and UN geographic datasets combined with bioregional scholarship).
African Sub-Bioregion Libraries
American Bioregion Library
The American Bioregional Library covers a land area of approximately 42,330,000 square kilometers (4,233,000,000 hectares / 10,461,000,000 acres). Its coastlines extend tens of thousands of kilometers along the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern oceans, including the extensive coastlines of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South American nations. This library organizes the continent into major bioregions such as the Arctic and Sub-Arctic, boreal forests, temperate woodlands, prairies and grasslands, the deserts of the southwest, tropical forests of Mesoamerica, the Amazon Basin, the Andean Highlands, and the Patagonian and southern coastal systems. Each bioregion contains its own cultural, linguistic, ecological, and artistic histories, including Inuit, Dene, Haudenosaunee, Lakota, Navajo, Maya, Quechua, Aymara, Mapuche, and many others. The diversity of cultures is placed in relation to water cycles, grazing systems, ritual arts, agriculture, and cosmological worldviews across hemisphere-wide ecological gradients (Americas land area combined from North America ~24,230,000 km² and South America ~17,814,000 km², synthesized from authoritative encyclopedic land-area tables).
American Sub-Bioregion Libraries
Asian Bioregion Library
The Asian Bioregional Library encompasses more than 44,600,000 square kilometers (4,460,000,000 hectares / 11,020,000,000 acres) of territory, making it the largest continental library in the system, stretching from Arctic latitudes in Siberia to equatorial forests across Southeast Asia, and from the Mediterranean margins through Central Asia to the Pacific and Indian Ocean islands. Its coastlines extend for nearly 63,000 kilometers along the Arctic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean systems, including the intricate archipelagos of Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines, as well as the continental shorelines of Russia, China, India, and the Near East. Within this immense framework, the library organizes Asia into major bioregions such as the Siberian tundra and boreal forests, the Central Asian steppe belts, the deserts of Arabia, Iran, Central Asia, and the Gobi, the Himalayan and Tibetan mountain complexes, the fertile temperate zones of East Asia, the monsoon woodlands of South Asia, and the tropical rainforest archipelagos of maritime Southeast Asia and Melanesia. Each region is examined in relation to deep cultural, linguistic, ecological, and artistic histories, including Ainu, Kazakh, Tibetan, Sherpa, Hmong, Orang Asli, Mongolian, Pacific Islander, and many other communities whose lives have been shaped by caravan routes, pilgrimage networks, mountain herding, irrigated agriculture, maritime navigation, and complex cosmologies. Through this synthesis grounded in authoritative encyclopedic references, UN geographic statistics, and bioregional scholarship, the Asian Bioregional Library functions as both a scientific reference and a cultural memory archive, oriented toward learning, sustainability, and respect for the living diversity of the continent.
Asian Sub-Bioregion Libraries
European Bioregion Library
The European Bioregional Library incorporates roughly 10,000,000 square kilometers (1,000,000,000 hectares / 2,471,000,000 acres) of land, extending from the Arctic Circle to the Mediterranean basin and from the Atlantic margins to the Ural frontier, with approximately 38,000 kilometers of coastline distributed along the Arctic, Atlantic, Baltic, North Sea, and Mediterranean systems. Within this spatial framework, the library organizes the continent into major bioregions such as the Nordic tundra and boreal forests, the Atlantic temperate woodlands, the Central European plains, the Alpine and Carpathian mountain complexes, the steppe margins of Eastern Europe, and the Mediterranean biomes characterized by evergreen scrub, seasonal drought cycles, and culturally managed landscapes shaped over millennia. Each of these regions is analyzed in relation to indigenous and ancestral cultural continuities, including Sámi, Basque, Celtic, Slavic, Baltic, and other communities whose histories intertwine with pastoralism, fishing economies, transhumance routes, mountain agriculture, ritual traditions, and complex linguistic heritages. In doing so, the European Bioregional Library becomes both a scientific reference and a cultural memory repository, grounded in geographic synthesis and bioregional scholarship, informed by authoritative encyclopedic and UN geographic datasets placed in dialogue with environmental history and contemporary sustainability research.
European Sub-Bioregion Libraries
Oceania Bioregion Library
The Oceanic Bioregional Library integrates approximately 8,510,000 square kilometers (851,000,000 hectares / 2,103,000,000 acres) of land distributed across thousands of islands and continental fragments spread through the Pacific and Indian Ocean basins, including Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Its coastlines stretch across vast marine domains marked by coral reefs, lagoons, atolls, volcanic archipelagos, continental shelves, and deep-ocean trenches, forming some of the longest combined ocean–land interfaces on Earth. Within this expansive seascape, the library organizes Oceania into major bioregions such as the Australian deserts and woodlands, the Great Dividing Range forest systems, the tropical rainforests of New Guinea, the high volcanic islands of Melanesia, the coral atoll systems of Micronesia, and the temperate and alpine landscapes of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Each bioregion is studied through its cultural, ecological, and artistic histories, including Aboriginal Australian, Māori, Samoan, Fijian, Tongan, Micronesian, and many other peoples whose lifeways are deeply linked with navigation, ocean stewardship, fishing practices, agroforestry systems, carving traditions, oral epics, dance, and cosmological understandings structured around stars, winds, and tides. Grounded in authoritative encyclopedic references, UN geographic statistics, and bioregional scholarship, the Oceanic Bioregional Library serves simultaneously as a scientific reference and a cultural memory space, supporting education, stewardship, and respect for the living diversity of lands, waters, and peoples across the Pacific world.
Oceanic Sub-Bioregion Libraries
Antarctic Bioregion Library
The Antarctic Bioregional Library covers approximately 14,200,000 square kilometers (1,420,000,000 hectares / 3,511,000,000 acres) of predominantly ice-dominated land, forming the southernmost continental system on Earth and functioning as a major regulator of global climate, ocean circulation, and planetary heat balance. Its coastlines meet the Southern Ocean across vast ice shelves, frozen bays, seasonal sea-ice fields, and glaciers that flow from the interior plateau toward the surrounding waters. Unlike other continental libraries, the Antarctic Bioregional Library does not center permanent native human societies; instead it focuses on scientific research communities, international cooperation, environmental protection frameworks, and long-term monitoring of Earth systems under the Antarctic Treaty. Within this framework, the continent is understood through major bioregions such as the high interior ice sheets, the Transantarctic Mountains, coastal ice-margin zones, ice-free nunatak and dry-valley environments, and the marine ecosystems of the Southern Ocean that sustain krill, fish, seabirds, whales, and seals. Grounded in authoritative encyclopedic references, UN geographic statistics, and polar science literature interpreted through a bioregional lens, the Antarctic Bioregional Library serves as both a scientific reference and a cultural memory space, fostering awareness, stewardship, and responsibility toward the polar regions that sustain life across the Earth.

1 Who We Are: The Living Foundation of Civilizational Memory
The World Official Bioregion Site and the Worldwide Library Initiative (WWLI), founded and directed by Librarian Joséf Sánchez Coach, serve as the central digital ecosystem of an international movement dedicated to reconnecting humanity with nature, knowledge, culture, community, and the living systems that sustain life on Earth. More than a website, it functions as a collaborative platform where individuals, families, educators, researchers, Indigenous communities, organizations, institutions, and future generations come together to build a shared future founded upon peace, education, environmental stewardship, scientific collaboration, cultural preservation, and responsible innovation.
The Official Bioregion Project recognizes that every human being belongs to a bioregion. Regardless of nationality, language, religion, political boundaries, or culture, we all live within interconnected ecosystems that shape our environment, history, biodiversity, traditions, and ways of life. By understanding and protecting these natural regions, we strengthen our communities while contributing to the well-being of the entire planet.
Our vision is to create a worldwide network in which local action, scientific knowledge, Indigenous wisdom, technological innovation, and international cooperation work together as a single integrated system dedicated to improving life for present and future generations.
1B Why We Exist: Reuniting Fragmented Knowledge & Upholding Data Sovereignty
Confronting Knowledge Fragmentation and Epistemicide: Humanity’s knowledge is scattered across paywalls, proprietary silos, disappearing archives, and commercial platforms that trivialize or erase entire ways of knowing (epistemicide). The Worldwide Library Initiative exists to reunite these fragments under one open, universal roof — a mother hub where contemporary science, technology, economics, philosophy, the arts, and living Indigenous wisdom are preserved, interconnected, and freely shared for every generation.
Upholding Indigenous Data Sovereignty (CARE & FAIR): While our bioregional nodes protect Mother Nature and native science, the universal hub operates strictly under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and follows the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) alongside the FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Communities retain absolute ownership of their heritage.
Open Universal Access as a Civilizational Upgrade: By keeping every core archive free, public, open-source, and multilingual — aligned with UNESCO Open Science and the UN 2030 Agenda — we build the common infrastructure a peaceful, ecologically literate civilization requires.
1C Where We Stand: Physical Hub in Tulum & a Worldwide Digital Network
Engineering & Editorial Base in Aldea Zamá, Tulum: Our physical research office and technology center are anchored in Aldea Zamá, Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, engineered by SESY.AI Agency ↗. From this hub the team coordinates field archiving, digital preservation, and server infrastructure for the whole ecosystem.
Nine Continental & Polar Nodes: The network spans every continent, ocean, and watershed on Earth through nine bioregional libraries — African, American, Asian, European, Oceania, and Antarctic — plus the flagship Mayan ↗ and national Mexican ↗ libraries, all indexed at Bioregion.Site ↗. Explore them in the All Libraries section.
Worldwide Digital Mirrors: Our servers mirror open archives across five continents, providing high-availability access to researchers, native schools, and institutions everywhere, convened as a human society through Native International ↗.
2 What We Do: Every Person Is Native & The Central Meeting Place
At the heart of this initiative lies a simple but transformative idea: every person is native. We are native to our families, our communities, our landscapes, our ecosystems, our planet, and ultimately to the universe itself. This philosophy serves as the foundation for Native International ↗, an international initiative dedicated to developing a worldwide network of interconnected bioregional communities and digital libraries.
Native International encourages collaboration beyond political borders by recognizing that the health of our ecosystems and the future of humanity depend upon cooperation, education, cultural understanding, environmental responsibility, and shared stewardship.
The World Official Bioregion Site serves as the central meeting place where these ideas translate into practical action. It provides the common space where communities organize projects, share research, preserve cultural heritage, document biodiversity, publish educational resources, coordinate environmental initiatives, support scientific collaboration, and build long-term roadmaps for sustainable regional development.
4 Bioregion.Site: The Master Bioregional Network Directory
We work across every continent, ocean, and watershed on Earth.

5 The Master Taxonomy: List of All World Bioregions
We propose a new global way of organizing the Earth based on natural living systems. This framework understands territory through watersheds, mountain chains, forests, deserts, coastlines, islands, and the cultural histories shaped by them. It is the first comprehensive attempt to build a unified taxonomy that integrates nature, culture, science, and memory within a single global structure.
Each bioregion has its own languages, art forms, food systems, spiritual traditions, endangered species, and environmental challenges. We document cultures, subcultures, rituals, crafts, architecture, medicinal knowledge, and artistic traditions, producing a master index joining geography, ecology, anthropology, and library science into a common standard.
